Will an increase in testosterone make you taller?
This would depend on your age (and more specifically: bone maturation). If one has completed puberty (excepting any estrogen defficiency/resistance) testosterone, or any hormone for that matter, will not effect height. Before growth plate fusion, however, an increase in testosterone ios necessary for a male to reach full potential height. However, the testosterone increase will eventually hault growth permanently (due to an increase is subsequent estrogen levels, which naturally will eventually cause growth plates to close). So, during puberty, yes the hormone will temporarily increase growth, until eventually: the inevitable end to longitudal growth.
How come 13 old boys nipples swell up?
At 13 you begin going through puberty. When this happens your testes begin producing testosterone for the first time, some of this testosterone is naturally converted to estrogen, which causes sensitivity and growth of breast tissue. The overgrowth of breast tissue in men is known as Gynecomastia The same thing is happening to girls when they go through puberty, but they have much more estrogen and actually end up growing breasts instead of just a little swelling/discomfort.
Which hormone is specifically responsible for terminating growth at the epiphyseal plate in both men and women as they end adolescence?
The hormone responsible for terminating growth at the epiphyseal plate in both men and women as they end adolescence is estrogen. Estrogen plays a key role in promoting the closure of the growth plates, leading to the cessation of longitudinal bone growth.
When does Epiphyseal Plate close?
Epiphyseal plates close after puberty. This because your body begins to produce testosterone, which is in turn converted into estrogen, which is responsible for the closing of the growth plate or Epiphyseal Plate. So it differs from person to person, if you have gone through puberty then your growth plates are developed.
What neurological growth is complete by puberty?

Do you have growth spurt at the end of puberty?
During puberty, individuals experience a growth spurt, which is a period of rapid growth due to hormonal changes. The growth spurt typically occurs earlier for females, between the ages of 10-14, and later for males, between the ages of 12-16. Growth tends to slow down and eventually stop once puberty is complete.

How much does the penis grow a year?
The penis typically reaches its full adult size by the end of puberty, which can vary but typically occurs between the ages of 18 and 21. After puberty, the penis may continue to grow slightly due to general body growth but significant growth is unlikely.
If growth plates are fused does growth hormone therapy work?
No, growth hormone therapy is not effective once growth plates are fused because the bones have stopped growing. Growth plates close at the end of puberty when growth is complete.
What endocrine gland is responsible for gigantism?
The pituitary gland is responsible for gigantism when it produces an excess amount of growth hormone, leading to abnormal growth of bones and tissues in children and adolescents.
