Puberty leads to many changes in the body both in boys and girls. Development of secondary sexual characteristics is one of the major changes that occur during adolescence.
Endocrine system or endocrine glands are a group of glands that secrete some chemicals into the blood. These chemicals released by endocrine glands are called hormones. These hormones are responsible for the changes during puberty.
During adolescence male testis and female ovaries mature. The matured gonads (sex organs) begin to secrete hormones. These hormones are called sex hormones. They are responsible for the changes during puberty and the development of secondary sexual characteristics in males and females.
In males, the appearance of facial hair, and hair growth on the chest and pubic region begins. While in females, the development of mammary glands and onset of menstruation occurs during puberty. The overall secretion of sex hormones is controlled by the pituitary gland.
