Explanation / Answer

19) 2 years

Total fontanels closure takes place in 24 months ie 2 years posterior fontanels closure takes place after 2 to 3 months of birth followed by sphonodial fontanels which closes around sixth month then mastoid fontanel closes from 6 to 18 month later anterior fontanel closes around 18 to 24 months.

20) hyoid bone finishes ossifying and fusing

Ossification of hyoid bone occur immediately after birth.

21) proximal portion of 5th metatarsal is broken in dancers fractures

22) stress fracture

Studies have shown female athlete's seems to experience more stress fractures than male counterparts

23) mineral content of bone diminishes as aging process

Mineral are maintained by hormones in our body during aging less hormones are released causing demineralization of bone

24) trochlea stabilize the joint
