Growth Process

Everyone grows and no one can stop the growth process, it's just
a natural part of our lives. Of course, as we all grow up, some of us
grow faster than others. This is because not everyone hits their
growth spurt at the same time. It can happen in short bursts or it can
produce both. If there is a delay in growth when it comes to
children, however, they should be seen by a doctor to make sure
there are no problems. Some children experience growth defects
and you want to make sure this is something you can completely
excluded by visiting your doctor.
Did you know that there are 300 bones in your body when you are
firstborn? Did you also know that there are only 206 bones by
time we reach adulthood? Why is that? Mainly because
Our bones are mainly cartilage when we are babies why
The baby's bones are much more likely to break the light
impact. As we age, our bones go through what is called
"Ossification" where the cartilage becomes solid. Finally, the entire
small bones will unite and then a big bone so
reducing the total number of bones in our body.
Growth plates are located at the ends of long bones in some
our body. When part of the cartilage does not ossify all the same
time, these plaques continue to make new tissue while the old fabric
is transformed into bone. So you grow more. Once you
stop growing, which is usually when you are an adult, the plates will be
sclerotic and leaving you to your final height. If something damaging
happens to these growth plates while you are still young, your growth
could be stunted and may cause bones to be more mature
than others, and some more than others.
You can actually estimate the potential height of a child watching
their growth profile. A woman will generally have a total height of the double
its height when she is three years. A man will usually have a full
height doubled its size when it is three years and three months
