During adolescence, bones become longer and heavier primarily due to the growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, in long bones. These plates are areas of cartilage that produce new bone tissue, stimulated by hormones such as growth hormone and sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone). As adolescents undergo puberty, increased levels of these hormones accelerate bone growth and density, resulting in longer and heavier bones. Additionally, physical activity during this period further stimulates bone development and strength.
