Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
The epiphysis is the end of a long bone that contains thin plates of cartilage. In immature bone of children, this is the area of growth and elongation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Laminar airflow is specialized clean air delivery to the orthopedic operating room. The direction of airflow is carefully calculated to enter and exit the room without generating airborne particulate. Because infection is a serious and costly complication of orthopedic surgery, surgeons prefer to operate within an ultraclean air system, with a laminar airflow.
