What is the site for longitudinal growth in a child?
The growth plate, also known as the epiphyseal plate, is the site for longitudinal growth in a child. It is a cartilage region at the ends of long bones where bone growth occurs, allowing bones to elongate during childhood and adolescence. Once growth is complete, the growth plates close and are replaced by solid bone.
How does the stimulation of epiphyseal plate after a fracture affect upper limb growth?
The stimulation of the epiphyseal plate after a fracture can lead to increased chondrocyte proliferation and enhanced cartilage formation, promoting growth at the affected growth plate. This can result in a temporary acceleration of growth in the upper limb, potentially leading to a disparity in limb length if the growth plate is stimulated asymmetrically or if it heals improperly. However, once normal growth resumes, the effects may normalize, and the limb may grow proportionately. Close monitoring is essential to ensure that any discrepancies in growth are addressed.
Does it hurt bad when you break a growth plate?
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.
What is the scientific name for growth plate?
Epiphyseal plate
The growth plate is also known as the what?
The epiphyseal plate.
Where does bone growth occur in the long bones?
Bone growth in long bones occurs at the growth plates, also known as epiphyseal plates. These are cartilage plates located at the ends of long bones where new bone is formed as cartilage cells proliferate and get replaced by bone tissue. This process allows bones to lengthen during growth.
Another name for a growth plate is?
Epiphyseal plate
How can you stop growth?
break your growth plate...in your bone
Does los angeles have earthquakes?
Because it is located close to the edge of the continental plate, which is close to the Pacific plate.
Will a person get taller if they have a epiphyseal plate?
Yes, a person can grow taller if they have an epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate. This cartilage plate is located at the ends of long bones and is responsible for bone lengthening during childhood and adolescence. Once the epiphyseal plates close, typically after puberty, further height increase is no longer possible. Thus, as long as the epiphyseal plates are open and active, height growth can occur.
What happens when the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone?
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
Where is the growth plate located in the arm?
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.
