 I would like to explain to Luis that, bone growth and elongation are made by the chondrocyte and osteoblast.

 Especially chondrocytes are dividing and lengthening at the end of the bone before puberty and we notice our height is taller. 

Estrogen hormone released at the stage of puberty, and that hormone shortens the life of the chondrocytes that causes the stopping of the bone length.

 When the bone elongation is terminated, osteoblasts start to bind with calcium phosphate to harden the bone. Therefore, we noticed that the height stops at the puberty stage and no longer gets taller. 

During growth, chondrocytes actively produce new cartilage, which is later transformed into bone by osteoblasts. Chondrocytes are specialized cells found in the growth plates of our bones. Osteoblasts play a crucial role in creating new bone tissue, contributing to the lengthening of long bones and our overall height. When puberty begins, the body produces estrogen hormones. As estrogen levels peak, it instructs bone receptors to shut down, allowing bones to settle into their final dimensions. This process explains why significant height changes are less likely after puberty

when we grow up the chondrocytes actively make new cartilage, which is ultimately transformed into bone by another type of cell known as osteoblasts. Chondrocytes are specialized cells found in the growth plates of our bones.Osteoblasts work hard to create new bone tissue, which lengthens  long bones and contributing to our height.  When puberty start the bodies begin manufacturing estrogen  hormones. The estrogen hormone circulate in our blood when it reach to highest level , which effectively instructs our bone receptors to shut down. So that his bones settled into their final dimensions, and that’s why he hasn’t experienced significant height changes.
