Epiphyseal plate slippage, also known as a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), is a condition in which the growth plate at the top of the thighbone slips off the neck of the bone. This can lead to hip pain, limited range of motion, and potential complications if not treated promptly. It typically occurs during periods of rapid growth, such as in adolescence.
What else can I help you with?
What is the 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 growth plate also known as?
The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone which contains growing bone. It is located between the epiphysis at the end of the bone and the diaphysis of another bone. This is only found in children and adolescents as it turns into the epiphyseal line in adults.
What Epiphyseal line are only foud in adults. what structure did it form fromin children what was the function of that structure?
The epiphyseal line is found only in adults and forms from the epiphyseal plate, which is present in children. The epiphyseal plate, or growth plate, is a cartilage structure that allows for the lengthening of bones during childhood and adolescence through the process of endochondral ossification. Once growth in height is complete, the cartilage is replaced by bone, forming the epiphyseal line, which indicates that the bone has reached its mature length.
What hormone is the most important stimulus of epiphyseal plate activity?
The growth hormone is the most important stimulus of epiphyseal plate activity, as it is responsible for stimulating the growth of bones during childhood and adolescence. It acts on the epiphyseal plates to promote bone growth and elongation.
What does the presence of an epiphyseal plate increase?
The presence of an epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, increases the length of long bones during childhood and adolescence. This plate is made of cartilage and allows for the continued growth of bones until it eventually ossifies, signaling the end of growth. The epiphyseal plate plays a crucial role in skeletal development, enabling bones to grow in a coordinated manner to accommodate the body's increasing size.
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.
Is a bone fractured if the x ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate?
If an x-ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate, it means that the epiphyseal plate has not completely ossified. The bone is not fractured.
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 happens when the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone?
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
Can the epiphyseal plate be seen in both the external and cutaway views of an adult long bone?
No, the epiphyseal plate is only visible in the cutaway view of a long bone in an adult. In the external view of an adult long bone, the epiphyseal plate has ossified and is no longer visible since it has become the epiphyseal line.
Difference between epiphyseal plate and epiphyseal line?
Cartilage plate that servs as a growth area along the bone lenghing, it allows the dialysis of the bone to increase in length until early adulthood. When growth stops the epiphyseal plate is replaced with bone, then becoming the epiphseal line.
Where is the region of growth in a bone?
In the epiphyseal plate.
