This is a complicated subject that doesn't have a specific answer.

Generally, organs grow larger as we develop into adulthood. Some organs, like the liver, regenerate, even when damaged. Others, like the brain, do not develop new cells. However this does not mean that the brain does not 'grow' in other ways.

I'm sorry if this seems vague, but it is difficult to define 'grow' in this context. Obviously, if all of our organs continued to get bigger with age then old people would be huge!

On a side note, there is a common misconception that your eyes do not grow. Actually, your eyes grow by 50% from childhood into adulthood. The confusion arises because the eyes of a baby are proportionally larger to its head than those of an adult.

Will scientists one day be able to grow whole organs in the future?

At the moment we don't really know if this will happen or not and we would have to wait and see but i think that scientists will be able as they can grow new heart valves so they probably will be able to grow new organs using stem cells because the organs do form when a baby is born so that's probably what scientists will try to do just copy the method and then they should be able to do it. Hope it helped it's my science homework! LOL :)


Do your organs grow as you grow?

Organs grow to a certain point. Adolescents have their organ system grow with the rest of their body at a negligible amount, which isn't by much. The rate of maturity of such a system could be dependent on genetics as well.


Do plants have organs?

Yes, plants have organs that serve specific functions, including roots for anchorage and nutrient uptake, stems for support and transport, leaves for photosynthesis, and flowers for reproduction. These organs work together to help the plant grow, survive, and reproduce.


What do scientists grow bacteria on?

Scientists often grow bacteria on agar plates because agar provides a solid surface for bacteria to thrive on. Agar is composed of nutrients that bacteria need to grow, making it an ideal medium for cultivating and studying bacteria in a controlled environment.


Why do cells need to divide apex?

Cells need to divide to grow, repair damaged tissues, and replace old or dying cells. Cell division allows for the distribution of genetic material to new cells, ensuring the continuity of life. Without cell division, multicellular organisms would not be able to develop, maintain, or regenerate their tissues and organs.

What organs do stem cells provide for?

Because stem cells are the undifferentiated cells, they are able to grow into many different kinds of organs.


What is stem cell preservation used for?

Stem cell preservation is used as a possible method of cloning. It is also a method that may allow scientists to grow organs to replace failing organs in medical patients.

Why do scientists want to study cells?

Stem cells have the potential to become any kind of cell. With the right research, doctors may be able to use stem cells to repair or replace organs that have been damaged by disease or injury. We have transplants for some organs, but people with transplants must take medications to suppress their immune systems for the rest of their lives. Such medication would be unnecessary if we can grow a new heart or kidney from a person's own stem cells.
