The arrival of puberty is when the body starts changing and producing the secondary sexual characteristics. This in turn is kick-started by an increase in hormone production controlled by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. It is these androgen hormones that control the maturation of the body. Testosterone increases muscle growth, maturation of the sexual organs and production of sperm.
