Our bodies grow because of tiny helpers inside us called cells! 🧩 They multiply and make new cells, which helps us get bigger and stronger. When you eat healthy food 🥦 and sleep well 😴, your cells work even better!
Parents and doctors measure how tall you are to see how much you've grown. 📏 Isn't that cool?
Our bodies grow because of cells, which are like tiny building blocks. 🧱 When you eat nutritious food 🍎, your body gets energy to make more cells. A special chemical called growth hormone tells your bones and muscles to grow bigger!
Stages of Growth:
Human growth is a complex process controlled by genes, hormones, and nutrition. Here’s how it works:
Your body is made of trillions of cells. Through mitosis (cell division), new cells replace old ones, making tissues and organs bigger.
The pituitary gland releases growth hormone (GH), which stimulates bone and muscle development. During puberty, sex hormones (like estrogen and testosterone) trigger growth spurts.
Proteins 🥩, vitamins, and minerals (like calcium) help build strong bones and muscles. Exercise 🏃♂️ also strengthens bones by making them denser.
