ADOLESCENCE
Adolescence: period in
which you begin to grow Pituitary gland:
Puberty: physical from child into an adult produce
process in which your hormones that
body begins to develop Endocrine System: released control other
reproductive cells hormones into bloodstream and glands. Ex.
regulate the activities of cells Growth
and organs hormone
