Achondroplasia is a type of dwarfism in which the long bones stop growing during childhood, resulting in limbs that are dispropo
rtionately shorter than the torso. This genetic disorder is characterized by deficiencies in the epiphyseal plate that include a low number of chondrocytes and inability of chondrocytes to enlarge. Which zones do you think would be most affected by this disorder?
Achondroplasia includes the hypertrophic zone and proliferative zone of the epiphyseal plate.
The hypertrophic zone is influenced by not prodcipro the antacid phosphatase which is created by the separate of chondrocyte. basic phosphatase helps in the calcification of extracellular lattice which is exhausted in achondroplasia.
It influences the proliferative zone by not supplanting the new chondrocyte which are being utilized for the procedure of bone protracting in this way it is affected.
