What else can I help you with?
Where is the region of growth in a bone?
In the epiphyseal plate.
What problems might extra growth in a fractured bone stimulated at the epiphyseal plate of that bone cause someone?
Extra growth in a fractured bone at the epiphyseal plate can cause uneven growth and potentially lead to limb length discrepancies or angular deformities. This may result in functional limitations, pain, and other complications that require further medical intervention to correct.
Another name for a growth plate is?
Epiphyseal plate
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis to grow in length?
The layer you are referring to is the epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate. It is found at the ends of long bones in children and adolescents, allowing the bone to lengthen as the cartilage cells multiply and are replaced by new bone tissue. Once growth is complete, the epiphyseal plate ossifies and becomes the epiphyseal line.
What structure would be present instead of a epiphyseal line?
epiphyseal plate
What is epiphyseal plates composed of?
The epiphyseal plate is composed of cartilage. As the child grows, the cartilage hardens into bone. The epiphyseal plate is located at the ends of the long skeletal bones.
What is the scientific name for growth plate?
Epiphyseal plate
The growth plate is also known as the what?
The epiphyseal plate.
What is the region of longitudinal growth in a child?
The region of longitudinal growth in a child is the epiphyseal plate, commonly known as the growth plate. This area is located at the ends of long bones and is responsible for bone lengthening during childhood and adolescence by the process of endochondral ossification. Once growth is complete, the growth plate closes and becomes a bony structure known as the epiphyseal line.
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 marginal zone of the epiphyseal plate where in children and adolescents bone can be seen replacing the hyaline cartilage?
The region you are referring to is called the ossification or metaphysis zone of the epiphyseal plate. In this area, new bone tissue is formed as osteoblasts replace the hyaline cartilage. This process helps in the longitudinal growth of bones during childhood and adolescence.
What happens when the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone?
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
