Puberty is a period of several years in which rapid physical growthand psychological changesoccur, culminating in sexual maturity. The average onset of puberty is at 10 for girls and age 12 for boys.Every person's individualtimetable for puberty is influenced primarily byheredity, although environmental factors,such as diet and exercise, also exert some influence. Puberty begins with a surge in hormone production,which in turn, causes a number of physical changes.It is also the stage of the lifespan in which a child develops secondary sex characteristics(for example, a deeper voice and larger adam's apple in boys, and development of breasts and more curved and prominent hips in girls)as his or her hormonal balance shifts strongly towards an adult state. This is triggered by the pituitary gland, which secretes a surge of hormones, such as testosterone (boys)or estrogen and progesterone (girls) into the blood stream and begins the rapid maturation of the gonads:the girl's ovaries and the boy's testicles.Some boys may develop gynecomastia due to an imbalance of sex hormones, tissue responsiveness or obesity.Put simply, puberty is the time when a child's body starts changing into an adult's body.
