| Growth of which skeleton increases height and changes body proportions? | The Appendicular Skeleton |
| At birth, head and trunk are 1.5 times as long as lower limbs Lower limbs grow faster than the trunk Upper/lower body ratio of 1 to 1 by age 10 | At birth, head and trunk are 1.5 times as long as lower limbs Lower limbs grow faster than the trunk Upper/lower body ratio of 1 to 1 by age 10 |
| Few changes occur in adult skeleton until middle age, when the skeleton loses mass and osteoporosis and limb fractures become more common | Few changes occur in adult skeleton until middle age, when the skeleton loses mass and osteoporosis and limb fractures become more common |
