Where is the growth plate of a long bone located?Growth Plates:The growth plates are areas of the long bone where new bone tissue forms to increase the size and length of the bone. These areas are cartilaginous through most of the childhood but harden into bone matter when growing stops....
The growth of children's bones depends on growth plates (physes) situated close to the ends of all long bones in the body. These plates consist ofcartilage cells, chondrocytes, that form a kind of scaffold supporting the formation of new bone tissue, and that are themselves generated from s...
The second reason to measure bone mass in children is to improve our understanding of the childhood antecedents of a condition that happens to manifest in elderly subjects: osteoporosis. Since skeletal mass in adulthood is the result of both the amount of bone gained during growth and its subsequ...
Bone - Structure, Function, Types: Grossly, bone tissue is organized into a variety of shapes and configurations adapted to the function of each bone: broad, flat plates, such as the scapula, serve as anchors for large muscle masses, while hollow, thick-
(Medical Xpress) -- Measuring bone age should be a standard practice of care for pediatric patients with Crohn’s disease, in order to properly interpret growth status and improve treatment, according to a new study from the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hosp
Since the composition of the present invention contains bamboo as an active ingredient, it is effective for promoting the growth of growth plates and long bones and is effective for promoting the growth and skeleton formation of infants and children and adolescents in the growing season. Further...
"During typical long bone growth (elongation), you will note that the ends of the long bones (where the growth plates reside) have a larger cross-sectional area than occurs at the mid-shaft. The cells that sculpt the shape of the long bones are the osteoclasts which have the ability to...
The two growth plates of the tibia were chosen for analysis. In the 4-wk-old rat, the proximal tibial growth plate and is one of the fastest growing in the animal, and it is growing at approximately three times the rate of the distal tibial growth plate (34). In addition, the ...
Indian hedgehog (Ihh) is expressed normally in the growth plates of Evc(-/-) mice, but expression of the Ihh downstream genes Ptch1 and Gli1 was markedly decreased. Recent studies have shown that Smo localises to primary cilia and that Gli3 processing is defective in intraflagellar transport ...
