FACTORS AFFECTING DEVELOPMENT
The series of hormonal changes ( when
there is too much or too little of a hormone
in the bloodstream ) accompanying puberty
is complex .
Hormones are powerful and highly
specialized chemical substances that
interact with bodily cells. Hormonal changes
in the hypothalamus and pituitary glands
signal the entire process of sexual
maturation.
First is the secretion of gonadotropic
hormones by the anterior pituitary at the
base of the brain near the geometric center
of the head .
Secondly , Gonads which are the ovaries for
the female and the testis for the male are
then stimulated by the gonadotropic
hormones, in turn stimulating their own
hormones , the said stimulation causes the
secretion of testosterone in the male sex
organ and of estrogen in the female ovary.
Adolescent development for boys : growth
of the penis male organ for copulation ,
capacity for ejaculation of male sperms ,
voice change , facial hair development of
beard growth, and continuing growth of
pubic hair. Next , these are the obvious
aspects , occurring late in puberty, the

enlargement of the larynx and double
