Tweetable Quotes:
“Growth plates are what allow bones to grow. That’s why people grow when they’re teenagers or kids. But when the growth plates close, the Growth Shop is essentially closed.” (01:51) (Dr. Brian)
“This is crazy. You’re not gonna believe this, but X-Ray machines used to be in shoe stores. And the people operating them were shoe salespeople. They would X-Ray kids’ feet before they got them shoes.” (03:31) (Dr. Brian)
“One of the main factors that causes growth plates to close is the hormone estrogen. And that is the reason why girls tend to stop growing before boys.” (05:05) (Dr. Brian)
