These Are the Only Two Body Parts That Don’t Stop Growing.

-



Hint: They're both on your head.

After your parents have ticked off the last mark on your childhood growth chart, after you’ve stopped outgrowing shoes, and when the horrors of puberty are a distant memory, you may think it’s safe to claim that you’ve “stopped growing.” But there are two significant parts of your body that apparently didn’t get the memo. Once the growth of the rest of your body has slowed to a stop, your nose and your ears continue increasing in size.

Dr. Ryan Neinstein, a plastic surgery practitioner at NYC Surgical Associates and Neinstein Plastic Surgery, explains what makes these two facial features different from the rest of your body. Dr. Neinstein describes how the multiplication of our cells drives the growth of our bodies. “Most cells in our body stopped multiplying at puberty. 

When the cells throughout our bodies, such as bone, muscle, and fat cells, stop duplicating, we stop growing. This doesn’t mean that cells themselves can’t get larger (they can it’s how we build muscle) or shrink (they can it’s how we burn fat). But most of them stop dividing, and in most parts of our body, “the number of cells is ‘locked in'” after puberty
.
Our noses and ears are unique compared to the rest of our bodies because they’re composed of soft tissue enveloped in cartilage. And it’s this soft tissue that keeps growing throughout our entire lives. When you look at someone when they’re 80 vs. when they’re 20, they’ll have more cells in their ears and nose. If you’ve noticed that some older people seem to have larger ears and noses, well, this is why. 

And no, it’s not just “drooping” due to gravity. Our noses and ears grow up as well as down. Don’t miss these body parts that are younger than you think.

If you’re wondering why hair and nails don’t make the list of body parts that don’t stop growing here is the explanation for that. Hair and nail growth because it is genetic and differs for everyone, for instance, baldness is hereditary. While continued ear and nose growth are consistent, the situation of hair and nails is “not as clear-cut.

By: Nur 'Inayah On September 28, 1980, an article appeared in the Washington Post told a very sad story about the life of Jimmy, a young boy who had become a victim of the thriving heroin trade that was devastating the low-income neighbourhoods of Washington D.C. Jimmy who was caught in a cycle of addiction, violence and despair had  become a heroine addict after being introduced by his mother’s live-in boyfriend. Janet Cooke, the author of the article wrote that Jimmy is an 8-year-old boy with a third-generation heroin addict. He described him as a precocious little boy with sandy hair, velvety brown eyes and needle marks freckling the baby-smooth skin of his thin brown arms. She noted that Jimmy aspired to be a heroin dealer when he grew up. The story immediately generated controversy. Many demanded that Janet Cooke reveal where the boy lived so that he could be helped. However, Janet Cooke refused to provide his location, claiming she needed to protect her sources and that her l

Petua Membuka Semula Pejabat Anda dengan Selamat

Oleh: Nur 'Inayah Buka sekarang? Buka kemudian? Ketika perdebatan berleluasa untuk memulakan semula ekonomi, satu elemen kritikal tidak ada dalam perbincangan. Peramal kejayaan atau kegagalan kita tidak banyak berkaitan dengan perniagaan ketika membuka pintu pejabat. Menjaga pekerja dan pelanggan dengan selamat dan sihat semasa berniaga dalam pandemi yang berterusan tidak hanya bergantung pada tingkah laku seperti memakai topeng, melakukan pemeriksaan suhu, mencuci tangan, dan menjauhkan diri sejauh enam kaki. Ini akan bergantung pada membuat kita semua melakukan perkara-perkara ini, setiap masa, untuk jangka masa yang lama. Majikan sebagai fasilitator.  Perkara ini tidak boleh diserahkan kepada HR, atau diserahkan kepada perunding. Majikan mesti berdiri di hadapan pekerja dan menunjukkan keikhlasan dan komitmen mereka terhadap dasar baru. Pemesejan moral.  Melaksanakan kes moral untuk mengubah tingkah laku dengan menceritakan kisah rakan, keluarga, atau pelanggan yang terkena damp
