Which is the only part of human body that doesn't grow from the second we are born??? :)))))?

Answer 1

the eye balls

Answer 2

The grow..The dimensions differ among adults by only one or two millimeters. The vertical measure, generally less than the horizontal distance, is about 24 mm among adults, at birth about 16–17 mm. (about 0.65 inch) The eyeball grows rapidly, increasing to 22.5–23 mm (approx. 0.89 in) by the age of three years. From then to age 13, the eye attains its full size.
According to a Cornell neurobiologist named Howard C. Howland,

For his part, the Cornell neurobiologist has moved on to a new study of eye size throughout various stages of development. He observes that human eyes grow rapidly in the womb and for the first three months after birth. That explains why babies are so adorably cute: Their disproportionately big eyes gaze out from those little round faces.

By three months, our eyes are as big as they'll ever be -- at least from outward appearances: The corneas have reached their full width, although inside the eyes, the neurobiologist notes, the front-to-back length will increase somewhat. Then our eyes move farther apart in the face as the head grows. And we'll never be that cute again.
Eric H. Chudler, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington offers the following in a newsletter titled Neuroscience for Kids:

According to the text General Ophthalmology (Vaughan, Asbury and Riordan-Eva, Appleton & Lange, Stamford, 1999), the size of the eyeball at birth averages 16.5 mm in diameter (front to back measurement). In adults, the diameter is 24.2 mm. They go on to say that maximum eye size is reached when a person is 7-8 years old.

Answer 3

While the ears and nose continue to grow, the eyes remain the same size from birth on. That's why a baby's eyes look so large, and the eyes appear so much smaller (relative to the rest of the features) in the elderly.

Answer 4

1

Answer 5

it's not the eyeballs (1st source,) so i'll say head-volume as a percentage of total volume. baby heads are disproportionately large, so from the second we are born, this ratio is not growing, it is shrinking.

if you don't like that answer, how about this one: (2nd source)
a female is born with a finite number of eggs. from the moment she is born, this number will not grow.

Answer 6

I don't see how anyone would say it's the eye. have you ever seen an infant up close? Do you REALLY think that those tiny little heads would hold an adult sized eye ball?
I don't know what the answer is, but i DONT think it's the eye ball.

Answer 7

Interesting.

Answer 8

Eyes

Answer 9

Well, technically speaking hair and nails never "grow" because they are made of dead cells. Otherwise everything gets bigger indicating growth. How many people do you know whose heads and eyes are EXACTLY the same size and shape as when they were born?

Answer 10

the eyes - but the ears and nose never stop growing

Answer 11

I'd say that for most people its the brain.
