How can you break your knee cap falling of a bunk bed?
Falling off a bunk bed can result in a forceful impact on the knee when landing on the ground, causing the knee cap to break due to the sudden pressure and stress exerted on it. The height of the bunk bed increases the potential for injury, especially if the landing surface is hard or if the person lands directly on the knee. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect a broken knee cap to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
Is this some kind of trick question?'Cause I think I'll ask my friends this to confuse them
I'm going to go for a wild guess...
it could be a cartilageneous joint (in your spine), synovial joint (freely movable joints), fiborous joint (immovable joints)...
Good luck on finding the answerrr ;)
Are the toes distal to the knee?
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
What is the cure for bone marrow cancer?
Treatment for bone marrow cancer, also known as leukemia, typically includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or stem cell transplant. The specific treatment plan will depend on the type of leukemia, the patient's health condition, and other factors. Close monitoring by a medical team is essential to determine the most effective course of action.
What is the fibrous connections between the bones of a fetal skull?
The fibrous connections between the bones of a fetal skull are known as fontanelles. These are soft spots that allow for flexibility during birth and rapid brain growth in infancy. They eventually close and solidify as the bones of the skull fuse together.
Which bone is not a facial bone?
There are multiple unpaired bones of the skull. The unpaired cranial bones are the frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. The unpaired facial bones are the vomer, mandible, and the hyoid.
Why do babies have more bones than the adult body?
Babies have more bones than adults because some of their bones have not yet fused together. As a baby grows, these bones gradually fuse or join together to form larger bones. This process results in a decrease in the total number of bones as the baby matures into an adult.
How many bones are there in a babies skull are held together by membranous regions?
There are six bones in a baby's skull that are connected by membranous regions called fontanelles. These fontanelles allow for some flexibility during childbirth and allow the skull to grow rapidly in the early years of life.
Are the spaces between skull bones that have not ossified called sutures?
Spaces between skull bones that have not ossified usually occur from birth to age two and are called fontanels. By age two, the fontanels close and become sutures.
Which type of bone cells have processes that lie in canaliculi?
Osteocytes are the bone cells that have processes that extend into canaliculi, which are small channels within the bone matrix. These processes allow osteocytes to communicate with each other and receive nutrients and signals necessary for bone maintenance and repair.
What type of joint is found in the ribs?
Costochondral joint ( Costo- = Rib, Chondro- = Cartilage) - these joints 'articulate' the ribs with the costal cartilage of the thoracic wall. However, there is no movement between the two.
The Structural Classification for this joint is; Cartilaginous (Synchodrosis).
The Functional Classification for this joint is; Synarthrosis.
What bones connect at the coronal suture?
The parietal bone and occipital bone are connected by the lambdoid suture
the occipital, parietal and temporal bones
Wikipedia says: The lambdoid suture (or lambdoidal suture) is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint on the posterior aspect of the skull that connects the parietal and temporal bones with the occipital bone.
The Lambdiod suture connects the occipital bone to the parietal bones and the mastoid part of the temporal bone.
The lambdoid suture joins the occipital bone to the parietal bones.
occipital and parietal bones
Lambdoid suture(s): separates the parietal bones and the occipital bone; it arches across the back of the skull ending bilateral where the parietal and occipital bones meets the temporal bone.
occipital and parietal bone
How many orgazams can a male have back to back?
Once you ejaculate you need to wait a while before it is possible to have another orgasm. Some people say that there are ways to orgasm without ejaculating, and therefore have unlimited orgasms, but its probably not too accurate. Just one.
Has Ariana Grandee ever broken a bone?

Does The ischium articulate with both the ilium and the pubis?
Yes, the ischium articulates with both the ilium and the pubis to form the hip bone or os coxae. These three bones fuse together to create the acetabulum, which is the socket of the hip joint.
Shingles develop in 3 stages. First, a deep pain as if caused by injury, but you were not injured. Second, stabbing pain which comes and goes. This kind of pain is specific to shingles, very unlike throbing pain which is continuous. If you take medication early you can stop the progress of the illness, otherwise blisters break out.
What is the code for Costochondral cartilage graft?
The CPT code for costochondral cartilage graft is 20900. This code is used for the harvesting and transplantation of cartilage from the ribs for reconstructive purposes, often utilized in procedures such as rhinoplasty or ear reconstruction.
How many bones make up eye orbit?
Each eye orbit (socket) is made up of seven bones: frontal, ethmoid, lacrimal, zygomatic, sphenoid, palatine, and maxilla. These bones protect and support the eyeball within the skull.
Do children have bones in their nose?
No. But they do have plenty of cartilage the answer is the same for adults too.
How do you now if you broke a bone?
Signs of a broken bone include severe pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, and difficulty moving the affected area. It's important to seek medical attention if you suspect a broken bone to receive proper diagnosis and treatment.
What forms the superior portion of the bridge of the nose?
The superior portion of the bridge of the nose is formed by the nasal bones. These bones are small and rectangular, located between the frontal bone (forehead) and the maxilla (upper jaw). They help give shape and support to the bridge of the nose.
