transverse fracture
Slopes of line perpendicular to the x-axis are undefined.
The transverse axis is perpendicular to the conjugate axis.
They are perpendicular and intersect at a reference point called the origin.
A transverse fracture, where the bone breaks in a straight line perpendicular to its long axis, is likely to result from a major blow. This type of fracture is often seen in situations of high impact trauma.
The transverse plane is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

Transverse Fracture
A broken bone is often called a "fracture" or "bone fracture". Some examples from the Wikipedia entry on bone fracture. * Complete Fracture- A fracture in which bone fragments separate completely. * Incomplete Fracture- A fracture in which the bone fragments are still partially joined. * Linear Fracture- A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. * Transverse Fracture- A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis. * Oblique Fracture- A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. * Compression Fracture-A fracture that usually occurs in the vertebrae. * Spiral Fracture- A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. * Comminuted Fracture- A fracture causing many fragments. * Compacted Fracture- A fracture caused when bone fragments are driven into each other * Open Fracture- A fracture when the bone reaches the skin * Bug fracture- A fracture when the bone is in place, but the fracture has the appearance of a crushed insect.
the conjugate axis
They are the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis that are perpendicular to each other on the Cartesian plane whereas the point of origin is at (0, 0)
Yes because the y axis is perpendicular to the x axis at the origin which is (0, 0)
Actually, a transverse fracture is characterized by a break that occurs horizontally across the bone, typically resulting from a direct impact or stress. This type of fracture runs perpendicular to the long axis of the bone. It contrasts with an oblique fracture, which occurs at an angle. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for healing and restoring function.
