Causes of bone fractures can include:
Traumatic incidents such as sporting injuries, vehicle accidents and falls
Conditions such as osteoporosis and some types of cancer that cause bones to fracture more easily, meaning even minor trauma and falls can become serious.


Fractures are different from other injuries to the skeleton such as dislocations, although in some cases it can be hard to tell them apart. Sometimes, a person may have more than one type of injury. If in doubt, treat the injury as if it is a fracture.

The symptoms of a fracture depend on the particular bone and the severity of the injury, but may include:
Pain
Swelling
Bruising
Deformity
Inability to use the limb.


Different types of fracture include:
Closed (simple) fracture – the broken bone has not pierced the skin
Open (compound) fracture – the broken bone juts out through the skin, or a wound leads to the fracture site. Infection and external bleeding are more likely
Greenstick fracture – a small, slender crack in the bone. This can occur in children, because their bones are more flexible that an adult’s bones
Hairline fracture – the most common form is a stress fracture, often occurring in the foot or lower leg as a result of repeated stress from activities such as jogging or running
Complicated fracture – structures surrounding the fracture are injured. There may be damage to the veins, arteries or nerves, and there may also be injury to the lining of the bone (the periosteum)
Comminuted fracture – the bone is shattered into small pieces. This type of complicated fracture tends to heal more slowly
Avulsion fracture – muscles are anchored to bone with tendons, a type of connective tissue. Powerful muscle contractions can wrench the tendon free and pull out pieces of bone. This type of fracture is more common in the knee and shoulder joints
Compression fracture – occurs when two bones are forced against each other. The bones of the spine, called vertebrae, can have this type of fracture. Older people, particularly those with osteoporosis, are at higher risk.

Explain how soaring and gliding birds use their air currents in their flight
ira [324]

Soaring and gliding birds like eagle, vulture, albatross, sea gulls etc are efficiently adapted to utilize the air currents in their flight.

Explanation:

The soaring flight and gliding movements are special adaptation developed by birds to meet the challenge of increasing turbulent air current.

Birds have the extraordinary skill of flying smoothly and effortlessly even at very high altitudes  

Birds soar by using thermal and dynamic soaring techniques.

Gliding movements help the birds to deflect the wind downward which helps to lift their bodies in the air. They do not flap their wings during gliding but just dive straight into the air which helps to increase their speed.

The adaptation of the bird’s structure with very light but strong bones on their wings helps to soar and glide in the air.

Glycolyis occurs ________________
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Explanation:

Glycolysis may be defined as the process of break down of glucose molecules for the formation pf ATP with the help of enzymes and chemical factors. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the organism.

Glycolysis may occur in the presence of organism known as aerobic respiration. The glycolysis can occur in the absence of oxygen as well known as anaerobic respiration. The steps involved up to the formation of pyruvate molecule from the glucose is same in case of aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
