Changes in Adolescents.
Growth -is physical change and increase in size and it can be measure.
Puberty- beginning of adolescence wherein the reproductive systems of male and female becomes active.
Adolescence - period of growth spurts and pubertal changes.
Factors Affecting Growth and
Development
1. Heredity- the passing of traits of parents to their offsprings.• Chromosomes- thread-like
structures found within the nucleus of a cell.
• Genes- basic unit of heredity that carry the codes for inherited traits.
2. Environment- the sum total of person’s surrounding.• Physical environment• Biological environment• Socioeconomic
environment
Endocrine System – collection of glands that control the growth, metabolism, social development and function of the body.
1.Pituitary Gland- often called as “ master gland” -produces growth hormones which are responsible for growth and development of an individual.
Dwarfism – abnormalities that occurs when pituitary gland releases too little growth hormones.
Gigantism – abnormalities that occurs when pituitary gland releases too much growth hormones.
Thyroid and Parathyroid
Gland
2.Thyroid Gland- releases thyroxin – hormone that controls the body by using the nergy from the food you eat.
Cretinism – person grows little and may have some mental retardation. It is cause by lack of hormones from thyroid gland.
3.Parathyroid Gland– regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorous in the body.
4.Adrenal Glands- releases adrenaline – hormone that controls the response to stress and amount of salt and water in the body.
5.Islets of Langerhans -produce insulin– hormone that control the level of sugar in the blood.
6.Ovaries- female reproductive glands that releases progesterone and estrogen.
The ovaries are the main reproductive organs of a woman. The two ovaries produce female hormones (oestrogens and progesterone) and eggs (ova). All the other female reproductive organs are there to transport, nurture and otherwise meet the needs of the egg or developing fetus.
They promote the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts, and are also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and other aspects of regulating the menstrual cycle.
The ovaries have two distinct functions. • produce ova (also called
eggs) • produce female
hormones.
Progesterone and estrogen- female hormone that controls the development of sex characteristics during adolescence.
Estrogen• Promote formation of female secondary sex
characteristics• Accelerate metabolism• Increase fat stores• Stimulate endometrial growth• Increase uterine growth• Increase vaginal lubrication• Thicken the vaginal wall• Maintenance of vessel and skin• Reduce bone desorption, increase bone
formation
Progesterone is sometimes called the "hormone of pregnancy“. - it converts the endometrium to its secretory stage to prepare the uterus for implantation. At the same time progesterone affects the vaginal epithelium and cervical mucus, making it thick and impenetrable to sperm. If pregnancy does not occur, progesterone levels will decrease, leading, in the human, to menstruation. Normal menstrual bleeding is progesterone-withdrawal bleeding. In addition progesterone inhibits lactation during pregnancy. The fall in progesterone levels following delivery is one of the triggers for milk production.
7.Testes- male reproductive glands that releases testosterone.
Testosterone- male hormone that controls the development of sex characteristics during adolescence.
Testosterone is necessary for normal sperm development.
Higher levels of testosterone were associated with periods of sexual activity within subjects, but between subjects testosterone levels were higher for less sexually active individuals
Reproductive System of Male and Female
Reproductive System of Male and Female – primary function is for reproduction but contribute to growth and development specifically the secondary sex characteristics of adolescents as well as the primary sex characteristics.

Facts:Excessive sweating may cause by overactive sweat glands or it may be hyperhidrosis- a warning sign of thyroid problems, diabetes or infection. Excessive sweating is also more common in people who are overweight or out of shape.
Excessive daytime sweating of the palms, soles and underarms for no apparent reason is known as focal hyperhidrosis. This type of excessive sweating typically stops when you're sleeping and isn't associated with an underlying condition.
