Which type of growth happens after growth plate close?

A thickening of bone occurs called appositional growth after the growth plate closes in late teens. If this type did not occur and the bone would just get thicker, we would weight about 200 pounds more than we do. The bone inside is removed by osteoclasts (bone breakers) while bone on the outside is laid down by osteoblasts (bone builders).


Why does a man stop growing when he gets older?

Males typically cease growth in height when they reach about 21 years of age. This is because when this age is reached, all the cartilage of the epiphyseal plate in the bone is gone. Growth in body weight can change due to diet and lifestyle choices (e.g. exercise) but due to the cessation of growth, not much weight will be significantly gained to accomodate increases in height like it did before.


Can height increase after 26?

Some people say you stop growing after 16 or after 20..but you could still have growth spurts in your mid 20s why not? At 25 years of age, all of the growth plates should have closed, so it is unlikely that one will grow more in height. None of the methods that have been tried, such as stretching, vitamins, and so on, have actually helped make people taller. You can certainly try simple things such as putting thicker insoles in your shoes, but as far as actually getting taller, it most likely won't happen.


I'm 15 and have seen no actual growth in penis size from 13 have pubic hair and also a bit of moustache but no beard also are short in height why am I not growing?

Because you are only 15. Many men have a growth spurt later, sometimes when they are nearly 20. Boys continue to grow and develop well into their late teens and early twenties, and the male hormone, testosterone, is part of what determines the rate of growth and development. Since you are only 15 years old, then there is nothing to worry about. Also, since some males grow and develop at different rates than other boys do, you should 'catch up' to those that developed more quickly than you did in just a few short years. You are normal, and there are many, many other boys worrying about the same thing you are, so don't feel alone, inferior, or abnormal, because you are not.


When does the neck stop growing?

The neck typically stops growing around the same time as general body growth, which is usually during adolescence. Most individuals reach their full adult height in their late teens to early twenties, which is when the growth plates in the bones fuse and stop lengthening.

Can girls have a growth spurt at the start of menarche?

Yes, it is completely possible for a girl to have a growth spurt after her first period. The idea that menarche (first period) marks some stop in development is false, menarche is one of many changes that occur during puberty. Puberty continues until adulthood, menarche on average starts at 13 years old whereas puberty tends to end around the age of 18 years old, so a girl may see a growth spurt later in their teens long after they've started to menstruate.
