Adolescence and Human Development

Adolescence is the stage of human development that occurs between childhood and adulthood, characterized by significant physical, emotional, and psychological changes.

Anatomical Features

Adam's apple, also known as the laryngeal prominence, is a visible bulge in the neck formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx.

The Pituitary Gland

The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland located at the base of the brain, responsible for regulating various bodily functions, such as growth and development, metabolism, and reproductive processes.

Endocrine System Function

Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream, which then transport them to their target cells, tissues, or organs.
The bloodstream is the primary pathway for endocrine glands to release hormones, allowing them to reach their intended destinations and exert their effects on the body.
