Physiology

Puberty is influenced by a multitude of factors including genetic, prenatal, nutritional, and environmental status. Parental pubescent age also influences what age a person starts puberty. [1] It involves both the processes of gonadarche and adrenarche. [1] Gonadarche is the process in which gonads, or the primary reproductive organs mature stimulated by the release of gonadotropin releasing hormone in the hypothalamus. [1] Adrenarche is responsible for the maturation of the adrenal gland during puberty and stimulates the development of body odor, axillary hair, and acne.
