The major gland that triggers the onset of puberty is the hypothalamus. It releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which signals the pituitary gland to produce hormones like luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones then stimulate the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) to produce sex hormones, leading to the physical and hormonal changes associated with puberty.
The pituitary gland (located at the front of the brain) sends signals to the testicles or ovaries, an the ovaries/testicles start to produce either estrogen (for girls) or testosterone (for guys). The hormones re adult hormones, so you begin to get adult features.
The endocrine system, specifically the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, releases hormones that signal the start of puberty. These hormones stimulate the production of sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, which are responsible for the physical changes associated with puberty.
How: Your brain knows when to have you start puberty, and makes the pituitary gland excrete hormones that start the process. When: Girls, from 8 or 9 up to 15 or 16. Boys, from 10 or 11 to 13 or 14. NOTE: It is perfectly, 100% normal to start puberty later.
True.
The pituitary gland is responsible for initiating puberty by releasing hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which signal the sex organs to start producing estrogen or testosterone.
GnRH released from the hypothalamus triggers the start of puberty in females.
During puberty, the adrenals and other glands start producing a lot of growth hormones. This causes a lot of growth in small amount of time. this is the puberty growth spurt.
Honestly, not much can. It's all up to the pituitary gland in your brain, and stimulating that isn't easy.
Congratulations! Your ptuitary gland is in action! It is normal to start growing hair as early as 12. You have started puberty
Spermatogenesis begins at puberty and throughtout life, the pituitary gland produces FSH, which results in meiosis.
The hormonal change that triggers the start of menstruation is an increase in estrogen levels in the body.
