Study Notes

Characteristics of Adolescence

Primary sexual characteristics involve the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian (HPO) axis.
Secondary sexual characteristics include the development of sexual hair, breast changes, and genital maturation.
One of the most notable physical changes during this period is a dramatic growth spurt.
Adolescence is also marked by significant psychological changes, including increased mental and emotional maturity.
