Internal fixation involves the use of metallic devices inserted into or through bone to hold the fracture in a set position and alignment while it heals. Devices include plates, nails, screws, and rods

Are mitochondria involved in carbon fixation?

They do not fix carbon.Chloplast involve in carbon fixation.


What happens during Open reduction and internal fixation of the clavicle?

It keep it simple, a surgeon cuts you open (open reduction) and then attaches the two sides of the clavicle together (internal fixation) usually using a plate that is screwed on top of the clavicle, but they may also use an internal pin.


How the open reduction of internal fixation it is done?

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a surgical procedure used to treat fractures by realigning the broken bone fragments and stabilizing them with hardware such as plates, screws, or rods. The process begins with an incision to expose the fractured area, allowing the surgeon to manually reposition the bones into their correct alignment (reduction). Once the bones are properly aligned, the internal fixation devices are applied to hold them in place during the healing process. Finally, the incision is closed, and the patient is monitored for recovery.


Do carbon fixation take place in the roots of fungi?

Carbon fixation primarily occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria through the process of photosynthesis, not in fungi. Fungi do not have chlorophyll and therefore cannot perform photosynthesis. Instead, fungi play a crucial role in the ecosystem by decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients, but they do not fix carbon in their roots. Their interactions with plants, particularly through mycorrhizal associations, facilitate nutrient exchange but do not involve carbon fixation by the fungi themselves.


What is nitrogen fixation and who can do this?

Conversion of inert elemental nitrogen gas into biologically usable form is called nitrogen fixation. Organism that performs nitrogen fixation is Rhizobium Leguminous.
