Puberty is the time between the first onrush of hormones and full adult physical development. Puberty usually lasts three to give years. Many more years are required to achieve psychosocial maturity.

For girls, the observable changes of puberty usually begin with nipple growth. Soon a few pubic hairs are visible, then peak growth spurt, widening of the hips, the first menstrual period, and breast maturation. For boys, the usual sequence is growth of the testes, initial pubic hair growth, growth of the penis, first ejaculation of seminal fluid, appearance of facial hair, peak growth spurt, deepening of the voice, and final pubic hair growth.…

From fetus our genitals are the same. Our genitals form within the first six weeks. XX or XY chromosomes are the contributing factors to the differences in the development of our genitals. As we grow the male and female body begins to produce hormones. These hormones are testosterone and estrogen. Males produce more testosterone and females produce more estrogen. Our bodies produce these hormones and many others. Hormones affect how the body reacts. These reactions reveal the similarities and differences between males and females. This exchange process produces the differences between our biological chemistry (Spencer, 1999).…

Adrenaline comes along with a term called “fight or flight” it is used when the body is under stressful situations. It is an adaption the body human body has gone through to react to danger quickly. When under the adrenaline rush the body allows more oxygen into the lungs at a faster rate, it increases physical performance for a short period of time and there is a rush of blood to the main body organs that help deliver this quick reaction which are our lungs, heart and major muscle that are needed to trigger a reaction. When a person encounters a dangerous situation the hypothalamus in the brain signals all adrenal glands to release adrenaline right into the blood stream. A reaction to these hormones released is given in seconds enabling a person to instantly boost physical strength and speed. This reaction also reduces the body’s ability to feel pain and in this for reaction is known as an adrenaline rush. The side effects of releasing adrenaline are increase in strength and performance the release of this hormone leads to heightened awareness and very fast respiration. When a person is still facing stress but there is no sign of danger then a person may feel irritable and restless. This would be because when the body releases adrenaline so does it releases glucose raising the blood sugar levels. This would give people large amounts of energy which would have no outcome. Thus in olden times people would “work it off” by getting into fights adrenaline has a key role in the body’s survival. But can also cause harmful effects because prolonged heightened levels of awareness cause immense pressure on vital organs like the heart which could lead to strokes or heart attacks. It could also cause the hippocampus to shrink in size high levels of adrenaline in the blood can also lead to insomnia, jittery nerves which indicate chronic stress. Adrenaline was first synthesized in 1904 and was a common treatment for…
