Yes. 5 of them, called the Tanner Stages of puberty. Search "Tanner Stages" on any major search engine for more details. It depends on who you ask. Some definitions of puberty make it a moment, or a point of development, at which the individual is capable of reproduction. In girls, it is generally marked as the first mentruation, although technically she was capable of being impregnated a couple of weeks prior. In boys, it is a little more difficult to say when he is capable of delivering viable sperm, but first ejaculation is probably as good a marker as any. In this definition, puberty is preceded by pre-pubesence and followed by adolescence, the phase between puberty and adulthood. The Tanner Stages span all these.
