Microscopic Influencing Factors on Linear Growth of Animal Skeleton

doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb15040099

Abstract

Abstract: One of the effective ways to increase animal meat production and hides is to increase animal skeleton. Growth of animal skeletons is a complex biological process, influenced by a variety of factors. The mechanism underlying these influences is currently unclear. Growth plate is the most important organ of skeleton for linear growth, Almost all the hormones and growth factors that can influence skeleton linear growth exert their effects via acting on the growth plates. This article reviews the way of skeleton growth and several important growth hormones and growth factors that can impact skeleton growth. Time difference between growth arrest of long bone and closure of growth plate was analyzed, and the possible cause for this phenomenon were speculated.
