What is it called when individual grows to adulthood is the thickness (diameter) of bone increased?

Appositional growth is the process by which old bone that lines the medullary cavity is reabsorbed and new bone tissue is grown beneath the periosteum, increasing bone diameter.


How is a bone when it contains 22 percent of Carbon 14?

A bone containing 22 percent of Carbon 14 indicates that it is relatively young, as Carbon 14 has a half-life of about 5,730 years. This means that the bone would not be millions of years old, but rather thousands of years old.


An artifact is found that some are claiming is 30000 years old 3.1 percent of the original carbon14 is present The halflife of carbon14 is 5730 year?

To determine the age of the artifact, you can use the formula for exponential decay of radioactive elements: (N = N_0 \times (1/2)^{t/T}), where N is the final amount (3.1% of the original), N0 is the initial amount (100%), t is the time passed, and T is the half-life (5730 years). By substituting the values, you can solve for t, which will give you the age of the artifact.


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.


Bone constantly remodels and redistributes its matrix along lines of?

Bone constantly remodels and redistributes its matrix along lines of mechanical stress to maintain its strength and integrity. This process involves the removal of old bone tissue by osteoclasts and the formation of new bone tissue by osteoblasts. The alignment of bone matrix along lines of mechanical stress helps to optimize bone strength and adapt to the external forces acting on the skeleton.
