The growth plates are the weakest areas of the growing skeleton. They are even weaker than the nearby ligaments and tendons that
connect bones to other bones and muscles. This makes growth plates vulnerable to fractures." Based on this passage, what is the risk level associated with a child who has an epiphyseal plate fracture?
The epiphyseal plate is a hyaline cartilage plate located on the metaphysis of the termination of long bones. Plaque is found in children and adolescents, as it has the function of assisting bone growth. A child is at high risk for a fracture involving the epiphyseal plate, because as this plate is associated with bone growth, a fracture will cause the child's bone growth to proceed irregularly and may lead to problems in the child's development.
A metabolic or physiologic adjustment within the cell, or tissues, of an organism in response to an environmental stimulus resulting in the improved ability of that organism to cope with its changing environment
In light-dependent reactions, the energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy in the form of electron carrier molecules like ATP and NADPH. Light energy is harnessed in Photosystems I and II, both of which are present in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
