What does a high TSH mean? TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone is a hormone produced in the anterior pituitary gland. This is used to help stimulate the thyroid to produce triiodothyronine (T3) or thyroxine (T4), hormones that help stimulate the metabolism.
An epiphyseal plate, more commonly known as a growth plate, is a anatomical structure present at the ends of the long bones of children and adolescents. These plates contain rapidly dividing cells that allow bones to become longer until the end of puberty.
How can growth hormone make you taller? The epiphyseal plates, commonly known as the growth plates, are located on the ends of the long bones in our body. These plates remain open and ensure growth or increase in height that the human growth hormones induce. After your adolescence, the plates begin to close and HGH supplementation will no longer help you become any taller. It only works when there is growth potential or with open growth plates.
