5 Puberty is the time when a young person s body begins maturing and changing to become like an adult. At puberty, many changes begin. Puberty begins two years earlier for girls than for boys. For most girls, puberty begins between the ages of ten and twelve. It may, however, begin as early as age eight or as late as age seventeen. The changes may take place over several years. When these changes are complete, the person is physically mature.

6 Environment and Growth Growth does not depend only on hormones. How people grow depends also on their lifestyle, or how they live. People need good food, rest and exercise to be healthy. During puberty, your need for food and rest increase. Because your body is changing so rapidly, it uses more energy than it ever has before. In order to be strong and healthy as you can, you must eat healthful foods and get plenty of sleep. Choosing a healthful lifestyle is part of becoming a responsible person.

7 Extra amounts of human growth hormone (HGH) will cause rapid growth. The thyroid gland also makes a hormone that effects the growth of the bones. Unlike the HGH the thyroid causes slow, steady growth. These hormones work together to cause growth to take place in an orderly way.

8 Glands and Hormones Gland: An organ that releases chemicals into the body is a gland. Pituitary Gland: This is a very important gland and is called the master gland since it controls so many body functions. Hormones: Hormones are chemicals that change certain body processes. Human Growth Hormone (HGH): A hormone made by the pituitary gland and is necessary for normal growth. Gonads: Gonads are sex glands. The gonads are responsible for the development of the primary and secondary sex characteristics. Ovaries (singular is Ovary) : These are female sex glands. The ovaries produce estrogen. Estrogen: Estrogen are hormones and these hormones produce secondary sex characteristics and influence the menstrual cycle.

10 Increase in height Voice becomes softer and fuller Growth of thicker and darker hair on the legs Growth of hair around the pubic area Growth in hair under the arms Increase in perspiration Hips become wider and rounder Increase in breast size Increase in size of the reproductive organs Onset of menstrual periods

11 Menstrual Cycle is a series of changes in the female body that includes the build-up of blood in the lining of the uterus and the release of the ovum. Menstruation is the time when blood from the lining of the uterus trickles down and out of the vagina.

12 Menstruation is also known as the Period. Blood trickles out for about five days. Each menstrual cycle lasts about 28 days.

13

14 Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a severe illness caused by toxins from the Staphylococcus bacteria. Symptoms of TSS are fever, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, and a skin rash. Tell your parents right away if you have symptoms and have them call a doctor.

15 Ovulation is the release of a mature ovum from the ovary.

16 Ovulation This is where the egg (ovum) travels down the Fallopian Tube. If a sperm is present, fertilization may occur. If the ovum (egg) is not fertilized, the bloody lining breaks away from the uterus and menstruation occurs.

17 Fertilization the joining of an ovum and a sperm to make a single cell. is

18 FALLOPIAN TUBES: Four-inch-long tubes through which ova move to the uterus. A female has two Fallopian tubesone near each ovary.

19 OVARY: A gland that produces estrogen and ova. Ova are female reproductive cells. Ova also are called eggs. An ovum is one egg.

20 UTERUS: An organ that supports a fertilized ovum during pregnancy. The uterus is muscular and stretches when a baby is growing inside.

21 CERVIX: The lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. During childbirth, the baby passes through the cervix into the vagina.

22 VAGINA: A tube that connects the uterus to the outside of the body. The vagina is very muscular. It stretches when a mother gives birth.

23

24 Perspiration by itself has no odor. Perspiration reacts with bacteria on the skin.

25

26 The sweat glands, especially those in the armpits and in the pubic area, become more active during adolescence. Hot weather, exercise or excitement often cause more perspiration. Remember, perspiration by itself has no odor but reacts with bacteria on the skin. This can produce an unpleasant odor. You can control odor by taking a daily bath or shower and by using underarm deodorant.

27 Remember: Bathe or shower everyday. Washing with soap and water removes perspiration and dirt. And: Ask your parents or guardians about deodorant (gets rid of unpleasant odors) and anti-perspiration (stops perspiration).

28 Hair grows around the pubic area. It can be brown, blonde, red or black. It can be curly or straight. It grows to a certain length and then stops growing. It grows under the armpits and on the legs. Hair gets thicker and darker on girl s legs.

29 Types of Razors and Razor Information

30 In puberty some glands in the skin develop very quickly. These include oil glands and certain sweat glands. Their quick growth may affect the way many teenagers look. The oil glands begin producing much more oil than they did before puberty. The tubes leading from the glands may get clogged with dirt, bacteria and oil, causing infection or pimples.

31 . Acne is a skin disorder in which pores are clogged with oil and germs. Acne is common in both boys and girls, but usually worse in boys. A doctor cannot cure acne but can provide special treatments to keep it under control. When your oil glands in your skin make too much sebum (oily substance), the oil ducts get clogged with oil and mix with germs on the skin.

32 Do control your stress Do keep your skin clean X Do not pinch or pop pimples X Do not scrub infected areas

33 Breast Bud: is a hard lump that forms behind the nipple. The nipple is the spot in the center of the breast. Bra: is an undergarment that holds the breasts close to the chest. A bra is worn for support and comfort.

35

36 Have regular checkups. Do not share a razor, even if you have permission to shave. Bathe and shower each day. Avoid picking or squeezing acne. Change pads, liners and tampons often. Tell your parents/guardians if you have symptoms of TSS. Limit caffeine, take a warm bath, and get mild exercise to lessen cramps. Choose responsible actions if you have mood swings. Keep a calendar of your menstrual period. Avoid risk behaviors.
