5 answers
Most of the factors affecting growth are genetic and physiological. Growth plates in the legs (called epiphyseal plates, located at the end of each leg bone) are areas of growth in humans. This is what causes leg bones to grow. Bones are dynamic tissues that are capable of maintenance and remodelling. The plate is found in children and adolescents. In adults, who have stopped growing, the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal line. This replacement is known as epiphyseal closure. Earlier on in the womb, a process known as endochondral ossification creates the initial bone tissue. Both play integral roles in human growth where research shows does stop at adulthood. Certain pituitary cancers can cause abnormal excessive growth in humans that can last for decades after adulthood.
