What are the steps in Puberty?

Answer 1

well, i know of 5 steps:

• Normal Age Range: 9-12, Average: about 10
  Male hormones are becoming active, but there are hardly, if any, outside signs of development. Testicles are maturing, and some boys start a period of rapid growth late in this stage.
• Normal Age Range: 9-15, Average: 12-13
  Testicles and scrotum begin to enlarge, but penis size doesn't increase much. Very little, if any, pubic hair at the base of the penis. Increase in height and change in body shape.
• Normal Age Range: 11-16, Average: 13-14
  Penis starts to grow in length, but not much in width. Testicles and scrotum still growing. Pubic hair starts to get darker and coarser and is spreading towards the legs. Height growth continues and body/face shape look more adult. Voice begins to deepen (and crack). Some hair around the anus grows.
• Normal Age Range: 11-17, Average: 14-15
  Penis width increases, as well as length. Testicles and scrotum still growing. Pubic hair begins to take adult texture, although covers a smaller area. Most boys have first ejaculations. Underarm hair develops. Facial hair increases on chin and upper lip. Voice gets deeper and skin gets more oily.
• Normal Age Range: 14-18, Average: around 16
  Nearing full adult height and physique. Pubic hair and genitals have adult appearance. Facial hair grows more completely and shaving may begin now or soon. During the late teens and early twenties, some men grow a bit more and develop more body hair, especially chest hair.

Answer 4

What triggers puberty in boys and girls is the hypothalamus in the brain produces gonadotrophin releasing hormone.

This stimulates the pituitary gland (also in the brain) to emit follicle stimulating hormone and luteinsing hormone.

When these arrive at the boy's testes or the girl's ovaries, they trigger the production or release of the sex hormone, testosterone for boys and oestrogen and progesterone for girls.

Testosterone courses through the body, initiating puberty. for boys. In girls, oestrogen initiates puberty and progesterone prepares the body for possible pregnancy.

Facial development

For boys:

• The bones of the forehead, jaw and nose grow rapidly in response to testosterone.
• This lengthens the face from a round to a more oval shape.
• Facial hair begins to grow

For girls:

• Bones inside the face grow.
• A girl's face lengthens and changes shape from round to oval, but it doesn't change as dramatically as a boy's.

Voice breaking for boys.

Boys voices break during their teenage years. They drop in pitch by as much as an octave.

This is triggered by testosterone. It causes the cartilage of the voice box to grow larger and the vocal cords to become longer.

During this time, the voice box tilts. It can start to stick out as a prominent Adams apple on the neck.

When we speak, our vocal cords vibrate as the air is pushed out of the lungs. As boys vocal cords get longer, they vibrate more slowly, producing a lower pitched sound. As the face, jaw and lungs and chest grow, they provide more space got voice to resonate in, deepening it even further.

Breast Development in girls

The first external sign of puberty in girls, breasts take up to 4 years to grow in a series of stages:

• Before puberty, only the tip of the nipple is raised.
• The nipple and breast start sticking out and the areola enlarges.
• The breast grows as fat gathers inside.
• The areola darkens and milk ducts start forming inside the breast.
• The breasts becomes rounded and the areola flattens.

Sweat.

Before puberty we produce sweat to control our body temperature. During puberty, we begin to sweat in a new way.

We start to produce a thick, fatty, grayish sweat in response to stress, emotion and sexual excitement. As bacteria decompose the sweat, its starts to smell, this smell is known as BO. This sweat is only produced in the armpits, belly button, ears, groin and nipples. The hair found in many of these areas provides a large surface area for the smell of rotting sweat to disperse from.

Hand growth

The bones of the hands and wrists change during puberty. At age 2, they have wide gaps between their bones. These gaps contain cartilage. As the hand grows, the gaps become tightly packed with bones. By age 20, these gaps have disappeared. Once the gaps have gone, the ends of the bones fuse and growth stops.

Male genitals, public hair and erections.

The first external sign of puberty in boys is when the testicles start to get bigger.

Public hair appears and the penis begins to enlarge. Over the next 2 to 5 years the testicles, scrotum and penis continues to grow. Public hair becomes coarse, dark and curly.

Boys get erections as soon as they start to mature sexually. Blood flows into the erectile tissue in the penis, making it hard.

Girls pubic hair, hips, thighs and periods.

Pubic hair usually starts to grow shortly after the breasts start to form. It becomes coarse, dark and curly and forms an upside down triangle shape.

The pelvic bones grow and the hips widen. Fat develops on the hips, thighs and buttocks, making the body more curvaceous.

Fluctuating hormone levels start a menstrual cycle then controls a women's fertility. The average length of this cycle is 28 days. A girl's period starts on Day one, when the thick uterus lining is released along with blood and mucus. After the period is over, the uterus lining thickens in preparation for pregnancy. Around Day 14, the ovaries release a egg. If the egg is not fertilised, the menstrual cycle will begin again with another period.
