Does your skin grow when your bones grow?

Question

What im asking, is like you know how when your bones grow.. you get taller right? And then your skin has to grow to to cover them and all that stuf , right?

Answer 1

Your body is growing everyday. Every week you have a completely new layer of skin and every three years you have new bones. Sounds crazy I know...but this is how your body determines how much extra skins and connective tissues that you need for the growth of bones when you are young. So the answer is yes, and does it in certian ways.

Although it's a little more detailed then this. I thought you might find this tid-bit of information interesting.

Hope this helped

Answer 3

Yep, your skin grows to accomodate the growing bones. However, sometimes, your skin gets stretched fast than it can grow, which is when you get stretch marks. Keep using a good quality moisturiser on your skin to prevent them.

Answer 4

As you grow skin stretches. And this not only happens when your bones grow. It also happens when you gain weight, skin will stretch as well.

Answer 5

Seeing as though it grows to accommodate fat, I'd think it does for bones as well.
