Your Endocrine Glands Affect Your Growth and Development

Your body grows rapidly during your growth spurt. Your growth during
childhood and the changes during Puberty are controlled by your
endocrine system. This system is made up of a set of organs called
endocrine glands. Your endocrine glands direct your growth. Endocrine
glands produce hormones, which are released into the bloodstream and
travel to other organs and tissues where they stimulate growth and
regulate activity. Some hormones cause your body to grow and some cause
other changes of growth.
Your pituitary gland affects your growth more than any other gland. This
gland produces many kinds of hormones and one of these is the growth
hormone. This hormone regulates the development of long bones and
muscles in the body. It causes growth throughout childhood and
adolescence and helps your body reach its adult size or height. Remember,
when your pituitary gland start making growth hormones, your growth
spurt begins. When it stops making much growth hormone, then your
growth stops. When happens. You have reached your adult size or height.
Your pituitary gland also releases hormones that cause your reproductive
glands to become active. Important changes occur inside and outside your
body.

Primary sex characteristics are changes directly related to sexual

reproduction. The reproductive organs of both boys and girls grow and
develop. The boys experience their first release of seminal fluid or
ejaculation from the penis. The girls experience menarche or the first
release of blood and fluids from the vagina, later called menstruation.
