Puberty is apparently triggered by a chemical from the hypothalamus gland, which stimulates the release of hormones by the pituitary gland, which in turn causes sex hormones to be generated in the ovaries (female) or testes (male). Puberty normally occurs between the ages of 10 to 17 for girls, and 12 to 18 for boys.

Puberty is the post-adolescent onset of sexual physiology, as the body completes the development of the reproductive system. This includes hormonal changes, as well as associated behavioral attitudes and inclinations. Boys become more interested in girls, and girls in boys. This is the beginning of human adulthood. Changes in the body are not limited to sexual ones, but encompass extensive physical and mental alterations that define gender differences.
