sweat glands
All the sweat glands function after puberty. Only they may get bigger in size.
The correct answer is the sebaceous glands. They become active during puberty when more male hormones (androgens) begin to be produced. Making the skin oilier.
Although not entirely sure, I believe they control long term processes in the body such as puberty
Skin Glands (Sweat Glands or Sudoriferous Glands) There are two types based on glandular secretion. 1. Merocrine is also called eccrine glands. They are coiled in deep dermis and respond to elevated temperature / exercise. They produce no odor and function throughout life and are not associated with hair follicles. Their secretion is water plus salts and wastes (urea and uric acid). 2. The apocrine glands ducts terminate into hair follicles. They respond to stress / emotions. They produce an odor. They don't begin to function until puberty and continue through life. They are found in the armpits and groin. They produce sweat plus oil and cellular debris.

Puberty.
I believe it is the sebaceous glands
According to my text book, "The sebaceous glands become particularly active during puberty when more male hormones (androgens) begin to be produced; thus the skin tends to become oilier during this period of life." Human A&P Lab. Manual by Marieb and Mitchell, 8th edition, pg 98. So I think it is sebaceous glands.
No when you hit puberty depends on your pituitary glands
sebaceous(oil) glands
The testosterone produced in the testicles are what cause the voice to change during puberty.
Apocrine sweat glands are inactive until they are stimulated by hormonal changes in puberty. Apocrine sweat glands are mainly thought to function as olfactory pheromones, chemicals important in attracting a potential mate. The stimulus for the secretion of apocrine sweat glands is adrenaline, which is a hormone carried in the blood.According to another suggestion, apocrine sweat glands were developed in the earliest period of human evolution via natural selection as a means of defence from predators as a warning signal, and that is why these glands are activated in the moments of emotional or physical stress.
