What bone will grow back if removed on human?
None. Once a bone is surgically removed, it will not grow back on its own. However, in some cases, doctors can use techniques such as bone grafting or synthetic bone implants to help promote bone regrowth in certain areas.
What is bone remodeling and how can it be used to determine age?
Bone remodeling is a lifelong process where old bone is removed and new bone is formed. By studying the pattern of bone remodeling in skeletal remains, such as the amount of mineralization and presence of growth plates, forensic anthropologists can estimate the age of an individual at the time of death. Changes in bone density and structure can provide valuable clues for determining age.
What are the epiphyseal plates and why are they useful for determining age?
The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone that contains growing bone. As people develop, the bone grows longer as a result of activity inside this area. These plates permit growth after birth, allowing the long bones of the body to extend and a person to grow as he or she reaches maturity. Once growth is completed and the person reaches full maturity and stature, the new bone slowly hardens and the plate turns into the epiphyseal line.The plates fuse over at a stable and predictable rate, so someone with experience can examine a bone and make an estimate of its age. After about age 25, when the epiphyseal lines are fully formed, it is much harder to figure the age.
How can bone be used to determine age?
Bone can be used to determine age through various methods, primarily by examining the development and changes in bone structure over time. In children and adolescents, the fusion of growth plates and dental development are key indicators of age. In adults, age estimation can involve assessing bone density, the condition of the skeleton, and the presence of specific features like osteoarthritis. These biological markers provide insights into an individual's chronological age based on established patterns of skeletal maturation and degeneration.
Do are ears grow when you get older?
Yes, ears do continue to grow as we age. This is due to changes in cartilage and tissues that cause the ears to elongate and enlarge over time. This process is more noticeable in some individuals than others.
Will you ever grow?
Yes. People grow by age, everything does. And than some adults claim at a certain age, they shrink. Which they do, because their bone deterioates, and than so on. So you will grow, just not fast.
What does a bone marrow do in a bone?
it makes your bone grow good and strong!
When the epiphysis closes on a bone the bone can no longer grow in what?
When the epiphysis closes on a bone, the bone can no longer grow in length. The closure of the epiphysis marks the end of longitudinal bone growth, but the bone can still increase in thickness through a process called appositional growth.
If young boy has started premature puberty at age 11 how would this influence his bone growth and why?
His bone will grow 7-10cm per year. This is cause by the hormone that is growing inside his body.
How do bones grow and what does remodeling mean?
Bones grow through a process called ossification, where new bone tissue is added to existing bone. Remodeling refers to the continuous process of breaking down and rebuilding bone tissue to maintain its strength and structure. This process is regulated by specialized cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
What age does your collar bone finish growing?
The clavicle (collar bone), is the last bone to complete growth, at about age 25.
If Rock can grow does bone attached to rock grow together?
no.
How quickly do bones grow?
depends, nicotine slows the bone growth it all depends on the person, age, health, but usually about 2-3 months
What was the use of bone hook in stone age?
In the Stone age, bone hooks were used for fishing.
How does a fracture bone grow?
Fractures grow when the body's natural defenses to affected areas(in this case, the broken bone) allow certain substances (such as calcium to mend bone) to heal the fracture.
What is the line that is seen in x-rays at the ends of bones in infants?
The line at the bone ends are called growth plates and allow for the bone to grow. They fuse as the child grows older. The amount of fusion that they undergo can be used as an indicator of age.
Can you grow a tail?
well in the early stages in the embryo every one does have a little tail from when we had them thousands of years ago but as we grow we lose that bone so it would not be possible to grow a bone
