In this question, we are given that what will be the consequence if there is excessive release of growth hormone after the closing or fusing of epiphyseal plates.
00:11
So, after fusing of the epiphyseal plates.
00:21
So, firstly, what are epiphyseal plates? epiphyseal plates are basically the growth plates which are present at the end of long bones.
00:32
They are present at the end of long bones and this is the area from where the length of long bones increases.
00:42
So length of long bones increases at the epiphyseal plates and this will basically lead to increase in the height of an individual.
00:56
Now we are given that there is excessive release of growth hormone after the fusing of epiphyseal plates.
01:03
Now, epiphyseal plates, unless they are not fused, if they are not fused, the long bones will continue to grow.
01:14
Long bones continue to grow.
01:20
But in this case, epiphyseal plates, they have fused.
01:25
And once the epiphyseal plates have fused, the long bones, they will not grow in length...
