An X ray demonstrating the characteristic finding of lead poisoning in humans—dense metaphyseal lines. Because of their rich blood supply and vascular stasis, metaphyses of long bones are prone to hematogenous spread of osteomyelitis in children. [4]
Metaphyseal broadening, irregularity and metaphyseal line of ossification. These abnormalities that are typically encountered in proximal humerus and around the knees are collectively known as "rachitic-like changes". Radiographic lesions of the appendicular skeleton are typically bilateral and symmetric.
The lines are believed to trace the migration of embryonic cells. [4] They do not correspond to nervous, muscular, or lymphatic systems. The lines are not unique to humans and can be observed in other non-human animals with mosaicism. [9] [10] Alfred Blaschko is credited with the first demonstration of these lines in 1901. [11]
The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place; that is, the whole bone is alive, with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue, but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).

Knees have metaphyseal widening and irregularity while hands have brachydactyly (short fingers) and proximal metacarpal rounding. Flat feet are very common. [2] The spine is normal but may have a few irregularities, such as scoliosis. [citation needed]
An interesting (and possibly terrifying) fact about scabies mite is that they live inside the skin—on humans (and other mammals). ... (a waistband, bra line, or the top of socks). “They will ...
