A person breaks a bone and has it set and put in a cast, but it does not heal. What would be the best thing for the doctor to in
vestigate as a possible cause? The bone marrow, which should have supplied the growing bone with blood
The ligaments, which should have held the ends of the bone together while it mended
The synovial fluid in the bone, which should have carried nutrients to the growing bone
The osteoblasts, which should have been building the new bone
The osteoblasts, which should have been building the new bone
Explanation:
Bones are the one of the types of connective tissues and have hard extracellular matrix. Osteoblasts are the cells that serve in formation of extracellular matrix of bones as these cells secrete collagen fibers and inorganic salts present in the matrix of bone. Hence, if a bone is not able to heal after fracture, osteoblast cells should be checked for their activity.
Answer: These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.
Aldosterone release is stimulated by a decrease in blood sodium levels, blood volume, or blood pressure, or an increase in blood potassium levels. It also prevents the loss of Na+ from sweat, saliva, and gastric juice.
If I have a batch of pea plants with purple flowers that I grew by crossing plants that had purple flowers (PP) with plants that had white flowers (pp), purple flowers (dominant) will be expressed in this batch of pea plants.
