chapter 5

5-During puberty, we go through a period of extra-fast growth.
-The growth spurt usually lasts about 3 years.
-People get taller because the height spurt makes the bones in the trunk of your body and legs grow longer.
-During puberty girls need enough nutrients to support their growth.
-When you are in puberty, it is healthy to eat right and exercise.

4-Why do boys start a groth spurt later than girls?
-What happens if you have an eating disorder?
-How can doctors help prevent this?
-When do we know when we stop growing?



3-hazardous:full of risk
