Puberty: puberty begins at 8-10, triggered by increase in gnrh which stimulates anterior pituitary fsh and lh, fsh stimulates ovarian follicles and they began to secrete estrogen, progesterone, inhibin and a small amount of androgen. Stages of puberty: thelarche, onset of breast development, the earliest noticeable sign of puberty, pubarche, appearance of pubic and axillary hair, sebaceous glands and axillary glands, menarche, first menstrual period, dependent on body fat.
