How bones are growing, if bones are not connected to the

AI Thread Summary
Bone growth occurs through a process called mitosis, where cells divide and contribute to the development of bone tissue. While bones are not directly connected to the brain, they receive signals from hormones and nutrients delivered via blood vessels that regulate their growth. The DNA blueprint plays a crucial role in determining how bones develop alongside a person's height. Hormones influence bone density and growth rates, making them essential for proper skeletal development. Overall, bone growth is a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and nutritional factors.

if bones are not connected to the brain or hormones, then how bones are growing parallel to the height of a person?

Why do you think they are not "connected to hormones" and why do you think being connected to the brain is necessary for growth?
 
ok, then what is responsible for growth of bone?
 
What is responsible for growth of anything? You've got the blueprint in the DNA, nutrients and hormones coming in via blood vessels and the rest is just cell division.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
