Growth Hormones, Thyroid Hormones, Sex Hormones and Mechanical Stress
Long bone growth is primarily controlled by a combination of growth hormone, thyroid hormones, and sex hormones. Growth hormone stimulates bone and cartilage growth, while thyroid hormones regulate overall metabolism which affects bone growth. Sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, play a role in the final stages of bone growth during puberty.
When the production of sex hormones increases, both growth also increases. This is why, when a child hits puberty, they normally have a growth spurt.
Hormones like growth hormone and sex hormones play a crucial role in regulating bone growth by stimulating osteoblast activity (cells responsible for bone formation) and influencing bone remodeling. Imbalances in these hormones can lead to bone growth disorders like osteoporosis or gigantism.

After sex, hormones like oxytocin and prolactin are released in the body. Oxytocin helps with bonding and relaxation, while prolactin promotes feelings of satisfaction and reduces sexual arousal. These hormones play a key role in the body's physiological response after sex.
Male sex hormones, such as testosterone, play a crucial role in the development of male reproductive organs, sperm production, and the maintenance of male characteristics like facial hair and muscle mass. They also influence libido, bone density, and overall energy levels in men.
In humans, the role of the testes is to produce sperm and androgens (male sex hormones; testosterone).

Women's sex hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, play a crucial role in regulating reproductive health and overall well-being. These hormones control the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and pregnancy, as well as influencing mood, energy levels, and bone health. Imbalances in these hormones can lead to various reproductive health issues, such as irregular periods, infertility, and menopausal symptoms, as well as impacting overall well-being and quality of life.
