how do our bones grow as we get aged. what makes one shorter and taller


khanruhi905: hi
khanruhi905: your answer,
khanruhi905: Bones increase in length because of growth plates in the bones called epiphyses. As puberty progresses, the growth plates mature, and at the end of puberty they fuse and stop growing. ... After the growth plates fuse, there is no more increase in height, and we all then shrink gradually as we get older.
shabanafathima: Why are few people so short while few are very tall
khanruhi905: yess really
khanruhi905: it might be girls feeling too tall and boys feeling too short. ... Since then, you've probably seen your height increase a few inches a year. ... After babyhood, the next big growth spurt for kids comes during puberty, a time of many changes when boys and girls grow bigger and start to look more like adult men and women.

bones change in their density all the time calcium is constantly being laid down and taken up by bone cells on a daily basis . bone growth is dependent about the amount of fource and stressed based on the bones
