Lutienzing Hormone
Reversed Prompt
The androgen most important in pubertal development among boys
Testosterone
Reversed Prompt
System that involves the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the gonads, which monitors and adjusts the level of sex hormones

Adolescent Growth Spurt
Reversed Prompt
The ability of the body to take in oxygen and transport it to different organs and this usually pearks in the early 20s
Maximum oxygen uptake
Reversed Prompt
Network of glands that through hormones affect the development and function of the body
Endocrine System
Reversed Prompt
Releases gonadotropins as part of the body getting ready for reproduction
Pituitary Gland
Reversed Prompt
Beginning of sperm production in boys during puberty
Spermarche
Reversed Prompt
Mature eggs in the ovaries every 28 days
Ovum
Reversed Prompt
When parents provide both the environment and genetics for a child
Passive Genotype
Reversed Prompt
Cells that are involved in reproduction such as egg cells in female and sperm in male
Gametes
Reversed Prompt
Chemicals released by the glands of the endocrine system that also includes the development of puberty
Hormones
Reversed Prompt
Production of Eggs and Sperm and the development of sex organs
Primary Sex Characteristics
Reversed Prompt
Point at adolescent growth spourt where they reach the limit
Peak Height Velocity
Reversed Prompt
A protein producted by fat cells hat signals the master gland to intiate hormonal changes of puberty
Leptin
Reversed Prompt
The master grand tha stimulates and regulates the production of hormones and is tied to the initation of puberty
Hypothalamus
Reversed Prompt
The sex hormones responsible for male 1st and 2nd sex characteristics
Androgens
Reversed Prompt
Most important estrogen in pubertal development among girls
Estradiol
Reversed Prompt
When optimal level of sex hormones is reached and then the feedback loop causes the production of sex hormones to be reduce
Set Point
Reversed Prompt
The ovaries and testicle also known as the sex glands
Gonads
Reversed Prompt
Asdrogens and estrogens that cause the development of 1st and 2nd sex characteristics
Sex Hormones
Reversed Prompt
When people seek out environments that corresponds to their genotypic characteristics
Active Genotype
Reversed Prompt
When the feet, hands, and head first begin grow followed by the arm and legs
Extremities
Reversed Prompt
Theory that states both genetics and environment plays a role in our development
Theory of Genotype
Reversed Prompt
Hormone that causes the adrenal glands to increase androgen production
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
Reversed Prompt
That genes develop differently in a wide range according to the environment
Reaction Range
Reversed Prompt
Hormones that stimulate the development of gametes
Gonadotropins
Reversed Prompt
Combination of behavioral, emotional, and physical symptoms that occur in some females the week before menstruation
Premenstrual Syndrome
Reversed Prompt
Changes in the body not related to reproduction
Secondary Sex Characteristics
Reversed Prompt
A change in physiology, anatomy, and physical functions in people

Cardiac output
Reversed Prompt
Stimulates the development of gametes and sex hormones in the ovaries and testicles with LH
Follicle stimulating hormone
Reversed Prompt
Uneven growth of different parts of the body during puberty
Asynchronicity
Reversed Prompt
Person evoke response from others in the environment
Evocative Genotype
