Where is the region of growth in a bone?
In the epiphyseal plate.
Is a bone fractured if the x ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate?
If an x-ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate, it means that the epiphyseal plate has not completely ossified. The bone is not fractured.
How is bone marrow articular cartilage the epiphyseal line and epiphyseal plate related?
The epiphyseal plate is a section of hyaline cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis in long bones. The growth and ossification of the epiphyseal plate is responsible for the bone growing longer. Articulate cartilage is similar, however, it is found on the outside layer of the epiphysis. It grows and resorbs allowing for the remodelling of the bone. The epiphyseal line is the remains of the epiphyseal plate once it has stopped growing.
What is the growth plate also known as?
The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone which contains growing bone. It is located between the epiphysis at the end of the bone and the diaphysis of another bone. This is only found in children and adolescents as it turns into the epiphyseal line in adults.
What does the presence of an epiphyseal plate indicate?
The presence of an epiphyseal plates indicates that the bone is still growing. When the bone has stopped growing, the epiphyseal plates will have fused together and are now called epiphyseal lines.An epiphyseal plate indicates that a person is still growing because its presence is only found in children. Adults have an epiphyseal line in its place. The plate indicates that mitosis is still proliferating the bone tissues.bone length is increasing
What happens in the epiphyseal face?
The cartilage cells at the epiphyseal side are continuing to grow and divide mitotiacally and the diaphyseal side are aging and dying and the osteoblast move in to form bone. So they are growing on the ends side and in the middle side of the Epiphyseal line they are dying and form bone.
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?
Epiphyseal plate
What is the region in mature bone where the diaphysis and epiphysis join?
metaphyses are the regions in a mature bone where the diaphysis joins the epiphyses. in a growing bone each metaphysis includes a epiphyseal plate
What is the structure of an epiphyseal plate?
The epiphyseal disk is the growth plate in long bones that is found between the two epiphyses and the diaphysis. This is a space that remains as long as a person is growing. When growth is completed, the epiphyses and the diaphysis meet and fuse forming a line.
It is possible to determine if a child's long bone is growing by examining an x-ray of the?
epiphyseal plate
In the epiphyseal plate cartilage grows?
the epiphyseal plate is also called the growth plate. it is the area of cartilage between the diaphysis (the long shaft of the bone) and the epiphysis (the end of a bone). the cartilage will expand and go through a process called ossification and turn into bone. when a person is done growing the epiphyseal plate will turn into an epiphyseal line.
It is epiphysis line growth plate remnant?
to make this question a little clearer:"once the long bone has stopped growing, these areas are replaced with bone and appear as thin, barely discernible remnants- the epiphyseal lines"
