Why do we stop growing after a cetain age?


Why do we stop growing after a cetain age?

What do you think would happen if we never stopped growing? We have to stop sometime and once the body has reached the age of adulthood, or within that range, the body stops, plateaus, then starts reversing. Until someone discovers the fountain of youth, there is nothing we can do to stop it.

part of the mystery of life i guess

The epiphyseal plates (the end of long bones) are sealed (form caps), due to the effect of estrogen, by the end of adolescence.

Google "growth stops" (without quote marks) or similar keywords.
