GROWTH OF BODY ORGANS

Growth implies development, from the time of emergence or birth to the time of maturity
and for many species, beyond maturity to eventual senescence or death. Growth also implies
increase in size resulting from cell multiplication and cell expansion.
Growth of the human body from birth to adulthood does not proceed as a simple
enlargement of body tissues organs and parts. It is obvious that body proportions change
considerable from the new-born to the grown-up male or female. Organs grow in size as the rest
of the body does. A child’s organs are generally smaller than those of an adult.
Body organs growth with humans for the most part. They grow until you’re fully grown,
which is usually your late teens and early twenties. A fetus’s heart takes up almost all of its
midsection. Hear grows with a person. Once they stop growing their heart stops growing, too.
There are some conditions that make their heart continue to grow after this paint, though. These
include high blood pressure etc. Lungs start working after birth. It continue to grow until people
are in their late teens or early twenties. This is why young people smoking is such a concern.
Their lungs don’t end up developing to the extent and size they should. Liver reached its full size
of around 3 pounds ate the same time. At the birth, the brain is about 25% of the size it’ll. Then it
start to grow fast. By the time a child is two years old. The brain is 85% of its adult size. It also
stop growing around twenties, but even when it has stopped growing the brain continues to
develop in other ways.
