Introduction: What happens at Introduction: What happens at puberty?puberty?
The hypothalamus releases a chemical The hypothalamus releases a chemical called GnRH.called GnRH.GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to release two more hormones:release two more hormones:– luteinizing hormone (LH for short) luteinizing hormone (LH for short) – follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH for
short) short) Girls and boys have both of these Girls and boys have both of these hormones. The hormones act in different hormones. The hormones act in different ways depending on what sex you are.ways depending on what sex you are.Girls usually start puberty 8 – 13.Girls usually start puberty 8 – 13.Boys usually start puberty 10 – 15.Boys usually start puberty 10 – 15.

Negative Feedback Example of Homeostasis (Fig. 35-4, p.895)
IV.Negative feedback – your body’s response results in decreasing the effect of the stimulus, (e.g. body temperature). The effect is a relatively steady state is maintained.
