The growth plate is the part of your foot right before your toes. (i would know I broke it :()
There are also growth plates in your ankle, leg, elbow, and all your other bones. Just so you know. I broke the one in my ankle :(
A growth plate is a region of cartilage at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents where bone growth occurs. It eventually hardens into solid bone once growth is complete. Injuries to growth plates can affect bone growth and development.
The scientific name for a growth plate is physis. It is a layer of cartilage located at the ends of bones in children and adolescents that allows for bone growth.
The scientific name of human growth hormone is somatotropin or somatotrophin.
Fingernails and toenails are made of a tough protein called keratin, as are animals' hooves and horns. Along with hair and teeth they are an appendage of the skin. The parts of the nail are: * Matrix This is the only living part of the nail. It is situated behind and underneath the Nail Fold and produces protein keratin which makes up the Nail Plate. If the matrix is ever damaged in any way, it would affect the Nail Plate growth. * Eponychium This is the dead skin that forms around the cuticle area. This can be lifted and trimmed during a professional manicure treatment. Tends to be more prominent on males. * Paronychium This is the 'live' skin that folds around the cuticle area giving protection to the Matrix. * Hyponychium, Is the area of attachment between the Nail Plate and Nail Bed that lies underneath the free edge. Anatomical terms of location Proximal and distal, end of the nail. * Nail plate Is the hard and translucent portion which is composed of layers of protein keratin. * Nail bed The Nail Bed is responsible for the 'pinkish' colour of the Nail Plate. It also determines what shape the nail will grow. * Lunula Tends to only be visible in larger nails. Is the whitish crescent shape around the base of the nail plate, is the shadow of the Matrix. * Nail fold A fold of hard skin overlapping the base and sides of a fingernail or toenail * Free edge The part of the nail that extends past the finger, beyond the nail plate. There should always be a free edge present to prevent infections. Ideally a free edge should be half of the 'pink' nail in length.[citation needed] * Nail Groove Acts as 'runners on drawers' and guides the direction of nail growth. They are situated down the sides of the Nail Fold.Taken from Wikipedia.com...the answer to all things.
A plant's stem thickness is influenced by genetics, environmental conditions (such as sunlight, water, and nutrients), and the plant's growth stage. Factors like nutrient availability and hormonal balance can also play a role in determining a plant's stem thickness.
Vertebrates grow through a process called somatic growth, which involves an increase in cell number and size. This growth is regulated by hormones, genetic factors, and environmental conditions. As vertebrates mature, they undergo growth spurts followed by periods of slower growth until they reach their adult size.
it hurts quite bad. I fractured my growth plate in my shoulder.I took a couple x rays and it had a tiny crack in the growth plate.
Epiphyseal plate
The epiphyseal plate.
break your growth plate...in your bone
Epiphyseal plate
In those who are not fully adult, growth plates are located on the ends of long bones. On the arm, the growth plate is located on the end of the humerus near the elbow.
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
The scientific name for a growth plate is physis. It is a layer of cartilage located at the ends of bones in children and adolescents that allows for bone growth.
There are a number of materials that are found in the growth plate which is also referred to as physis. The main materials are fats and cartilage.
No. What can stop growth in an adolescent is an untreated growth plate fracture.Soccer, basketball, football, skateboarding, and bicycling are the five activities most likely to result in growth plate fracture. Sit-ups and weight training have never been directly implicated in any case of growth plate fracture.
