What type of fracture results from the radius and ulna being forced backward and upward?
A fracture resulting from the radius and ulna being forced backward and upward is called a Colles' fracture. It is a type of distal radius fracture where the bone breaks near the wrist joint, usually due to a fall on an outstretched hand. Colles' fractures typically result in a dorsal displacement of the hand and a characteristic deformity known as a "dinner fork" deformity.
How a mineral breaks apart when it does not split evenly?
The two way by which minerals break are called cleavage and fracture. Cleavage is when a mineral breaks along a plane whose atomic bonds are weaker than in the rest of the mineral. Fracture is when a mineral is forced to be broken in an unnatural direction.
What are expired blood patterns?
A bloodstain pattern resulting from blood forced by airflow out of the nose, mouth, or a wound.
If the av node were forced to assume pacemaker activity what would be the resulting pulse rate?

What is the specific name of a fracture called?
Sometimes, excess pressure is applied to a bone that results in the breaking of the bone, also called a fracture. Fractures are common. Most people suffer from fractures at least once during their lifetime. Children's bones are relatively more flexible and less likely to break. Falls or other accidents that do not cause harm in children can cause complete fractures in older adults. Older adults suffer from fractures more than children because their bones are comparatively brittle.Bone fractures are caused by various reasons. It could be because of a fall from a height, motor accidents and repetitive forces on the bone because of physical activities like running or weightlifting.Different types of bone fractures: -Open Fracture : An open fracture is a fracture where the broken bone is exposed. That is dangerous because of increased chances of infection.Closed Fracture : A closed fracture is a fracture where the bone is broken, but the skin is intact.Simple fracture : The fracture occurs along one line, splitting the bone into two pieces.Multi-fragmentary fracture : In this the bone splits into multiple pieces.Compression Fracture : A compression fracture is a closed fracture that occurs when two or more bones are forced against each other. It commonly occurs to the bones of the spine and may be caused by falling into a standing or sitting position, or a result of advanced osteoporosis.Avulsion Fracture : An avulsion fracture is a closed fracture where a piece of bone is broken off by a sudden, forceful contraction of a muscle. This type of fracture is common in athletes and can occur when muscles are not properly stretched before activity. This fracture can also because of an injury.Impacted Fracture : An impacted fracture is similar to a compression fracture, yet it occurs within the same bone. It is a closed fracture which occurs when pressure is applied to both ends of the bone, causing it to split into two fragments that jam into each other. This type of fracture is common in car accidents and falls.Stress Fracture : It is a common overuse injury. It is most often seen in athletes who run and jump on hard surfaces such as runners, ballet dancers and basketball players.Compression fracture of the spine : It is common in individuals with osteoporosis. Often no identifiable injury causes it. This results in significant pain and disability.Rib fractures : If you experience pain while breathing you probably have a rib fracture. In this condition you also have tenderness and shallow breathing.Complete Fracture : in this the bone fragments separate completely.Incomplete Fracture : in this the bone fragments are still partially joined.Linear Fracture : in this the fracture is parallel to the bone's long axis.Transverse Fracture : in this the fracture is at a right angle to the bone's long axis.Oblique Fracture : in this the fracture is diagonal to a bone's long axis.Spiral Fracture : in this at least one part of the bone has been twisted.Comminuted Fracture : in this the fracture results in several fragments.Compacted Fracture : in this the fracture is caused when bone fragments are driven into each other
What is it called when sediments are forced together?
It is called compaction.
How does fog affect airlines?
As airports become closed and airlines are forced to cancel/suspend flights often resulting in refunds.
What are the different types of bone fractures?
There are various types of Fractures: 1. Simple fracture - does not break the skin. 2. Compound fracture - a fracture breaking the skin; also called "open fracture". 3. Greenstick fracture - a bend-like fracture in children. 4. Stress fracture - a fracture caused by repeated stress to the bone. 5. Pathological fracture - a fracture caused by underlying diseases. 6. Complicated fracture - also damaging nearby tissues. 7. Depressed fracture - skull fracture with bone forced inwards. 8. Comminuted fracture - multiple fractures and associated tissue damage to a single bone.
