Skeletal milestones
Doc J mentioned that there are other things going on. From my recollections one of these is the long bones. (humerous- upper arm, femur- upper leg, et all)
​
These are in 3 pieces of bone with cartiledge between while they are growing rapidly. Sometime in mid to late teens (for humans) they start to fuse into one bone. So you can tell whether someone is "adult" or not.
