Most people fail to realize that a bone is actually a living thing. Blood cells and calcium are stored in bones, and they grow over time. As bones grow, they fuse together through stored calcium. as they connect, the body grows. That is why a full grown human has less bones than a human.

Just travel in space , and as there is no gravity you will be taller, but once you return to earth and gravity pressure will make you your old size again. Bone growth occurs (not talking about babies) only in long bones in parts of the neck of the bone called growth plate, or full name cartillagenous epiphyseal growth plate. This lies directly between the epiphysis and diaphysis, the calcified regions. The cells here are still able to grow and divide meaning it can still grow, at is it doing so it is also ossifying (endochondrially) forming bone. By the age of around 20 the plate has ossified completely and so no more growth occurs.

What structure allows bones to grow in thickness?

Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.
