Questions students ask

What is adolescence?

Adolescence is the phase between childhood and adulthood marked by rapid physical growth, sexual maturation and emotional changes. It includes growth spurts, development of reproductive organs, emergence of secondary sexual characters and increasing independence.

Difference between primary and secondary sexual characters?

Primary sexual characters are the reproductive organs (testes and ovaries) that mature during puberty; secondary sexual characters appear at puberty (breast development, facial hair, voice change) and distinguish males and females externally.

How do hormones cause changes during adolescence?

Hormones from the pituitary gland signal the sex glands (testes/ovaries) to produce sex hormones, which trigger growth spurts, development of secondary sexual characters and processes like menstruation and sperm production.
