In general, physical changes to the body happen gradually and might not be immediately apparent. During puberty, however, physical changes happen rapidly once the process is initiated by GnRH. During what is commonly referred to as a 'growth spurt', for example, the anterior pituitary gland releases a hormone known as growth hormone, which stimulates, among other things, physical development of bones, cell reproduction, and the enlargement of internal organs.
In addition to the development of muscle mass and bone density that accompany getting taller and gaining weight, the body undergoes other important changes as a result of hormones. For example, testosterone, which drives puberty in boys, causes the larynx to grow and the vocal cords to stretch as they become thicker. Until the body adjusts to changes in the larynx, a boy's voice may crack or squeak from time to time as the larynx gets used to its increased size. This process begins at the onset of puberty and is usually completed around the late teens or early 20s, when the individual has reached adult size.
Along with other hormones, growth hormone contributes to the development of muscle mass, bone density, and organ growth.
