Growth is controlled by the pituitary gland (back of the brain, at the base), which releases a substance imaginatively named "human growth hormone". If you are at an age where you bone end plates have not fused (i.e you have not yet stopped growing), this hormone will make you grow. This hormone is still released when you have stopped growing, however in this instance it acts as a naturally occuring "anabolic".
