What are the 3 types of puberty?

1. Adrenarchal Puberty

- This is the first phase of puberty, and it is marked by the increased production of adrenal androgens. These hormones trigger the development of secondary sex characteristics, such as pubic hair, underarm hair, and acne.

2. Gonadarchal Puberty

- This phase of puberty is characterized by the increased production of sex hormones from the ovaries in females and the testes in males. In females, this leads to the development of breasts and the onset of menstruation. In males, it leads to the growth of the penis and testes, the production of sperm, and the deepening of the voice.

3. Pituitary-Gonadal Feedback Regulation

- The final phase of puberty is marked by the development of a negative feedback loop between the pituitary gland and the gonads. This system helps to regulate the production of sex hormones and ensures that they are released in a balanced way.
