T. b., a 65-year-old woman, fell as she was leaving her home. she was unable to move her left leg and appeared to be inextreme pain when the paramedics transported her to a stretcher. she was later diagnosed with a fractured hip and sentto surgery, where a pin was inserted into the fractured bone. a bone scan indicated a decrease in bone density. which anatomical structure was fractured? a. iliac crest of the coxal boneb. ischial tuberosity of the hip bonec. greater trochanter of the femurd. neck of the femur

The correct answer is C. Greater throcanter of the femur.

Explanation:

Hip fractures describe all those fractures that occur in the proximal extremity of the femur.

According to the location of the fracture in the extremity, it can affect the femoral head, the femoral neck, the trochanter of the femur or the area under the femur.

Most of the hip fractures occur in older people, mostly in women, and mainly, the causes of fractures are falls or missteps.

For the treatment, there are some surgery options, among other more conservatory. One of them is hip pinning, which is considered a good option for fractures that occur in the greater and lesser part of the trochanter in the femur bone.

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

1. the geologists have established a set of principals that can can be used o determine the relative ages of rock. this principal is applied to sedimentary and volcanic rocks. the rocks exposed to wall of grand canyon has layers and by studying the number of horizontal layers in the rock(strata) the relative age can be determined. the layer first formed will appear at the bottom and the the layer of strata last formed appear at the top. by using this information the approximate age of rocks can be determined.

2. carbon dating is used to find the relative age of rock in numbers which means for the rocks that has age between 1-70,000 years.

3. for the rocks of age range between 1,000 - billion of years potassium-argon dating is used.
