I just don't get how all of your other bones grew while your hands and feet didn't. Your pituitary just outputs growth hormone (among other things), and then your liver converts that to the more active form, igf1. Seems like there must have been some lowered expression of igf1 in the bones of your hands and feet somehow which would be neat
