Go to this website (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/childhand) to view a radiograph (X-ray image) of a child’s hand and wrist. The growing bones of child have an epiphyseal plate that forms a synchondrosis between the shaft and end of a long bone. Being less dense than bone, the area of epiphyseal cartilage is seen on this radiograph as the dark epiphyseal gaps located near the ends of the long bones, including the radius, ulna, metacarpal, and phalanx bones. Which of the bones in this image do not show an epiphyseal plate (epiphyseal gap)?
To write:
To determine the bones in the radiograph of a growing child's wrist and hand which does not have an epiphyseal plate.
Introduction:
Epiphyseal plate is a plate of hyaline cartilage which is present at the end of long bones. It determines the extent of growth of the bone. So, it is present at the ends of growing bones.
Explanation of Solution
In the radiograph of hand and wrist of a child, epiphyseal plate is present at the end of all the bones except the carpals. Carpal bone is small bones in the area of the wrist which grow in diameter. They do not grow in length so they do not have an epiphyseal plate.
Epiphyseal plate is not present in the carpal bones of the hand.

Think about some situations that might involve translation regulation. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Why is translation regulation important? What are some examples of translation regulation in humans? Select one of the examples you provided and explain what happens when translation regulation goes wrong.arrow_forward
- The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.arrow_forwardQUESTION 27 Label the structures marked A, B, C and explain the role of structure A.

We will use a different type of graph to derive additional information from the CO2 data (Fig A1.6.2) 1. Calculate the average rate of increase in COz concentration per year for the time intervals 1959-1969, 1969- 1979, etc. and write the results in the spaces provided. The value for 1959-1969 is provided for you as an example. 2. Plot the results as a bar graph. The 1959-1969 is plotted for you. 3.
