Long bones: The primary centers are your long bones, including the upper and lower legs.The vertebrae also play a part, but their growth is not as visible.The bones in your wrist and hand also have growth plates and are often used as a gauge for how growth is progressing. Once the growth plated in your hands have closed, it correlates with those in your long bones finishing also.
