Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a.Fatigue fracture

b.Stress fracture

c.Pathologic fracture

d.Greenstick fracture.  

The correct answer is c.

Explanation:

A pathological fracture is one produced in a weakened bone as a result of trauma that would not cause such an effect on bones that had their composition, resistance or flexibility properties at the correct levels, that is, a pathological fracture is any loss of bone continuity that occurs in a weakened bone, secondary this weakness to the development of a disease. Endogenous osteomyelitis is a blood-borne bacterial infection that spreads to the bone.

Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

Viefleur [7K]

Complete question:

Prophase of meiosis I has some important differences from prophase of mitosis. These differences include: ___________BLANK pair, and _________BLANK occurs.

A: chromatids; condensation

B.,chromosomes; separation

C. homologous chromosomes; crossing over

D. homologous chromatids; separation

Answer:

C. homologous chromosomes; crossing over

Explanation:

Prophase I of meiosis and prophase of mitosis are quite distinct with respect to the events occurring in the cells. Prophase-I of meiosis is a relatively long stage. The Zygotene stage of prophase-I includes the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This pairing is mediated by synaptonemal complex and the process is called synapsis. The paired chromosomes undergo the process of crossing over during the pachytene stage of prophase-I. In crossing over, the non-sister chromatids of the bivalents exchange some genetic material between them. The events of synapsis and crossing over do not occur during prophase of mitosis.
