1 It extends sagittally through the epiphysis, transversely through the epiphyseal plate and coronally through the distal tibial metaphysis. 2  Occurs in older children/young adolescents in 18 months just prior to epiphyseal plate closure (about 12-15 years).
An equator is the intersection of a sphere 's surface with the plane perpendicular to the sphere's axis of rotation and midway between the poles.he latitude of the Earth's Equator is by definition 0Â° (zero degrees). The Equator is one of the five notable circles of latitude on Earth, with the others being the two Polar Circles: the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle, and the two Tropical Circles: the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
equator - a circle dividing a sphere or other surface into two usually equal and symmetrical parts. circle - ellipse in which the two axes are of equal length; a plane curve generated by one point moving at a constant distance from a fixed point; he calculated the circumference of the circle.
