When your body is ready to start puberty, the pea-shaped pituitary gland located in the lower part of the brain, releases special hormones known as FSH (follicle stimulating) and LH (luteinizing), these will fulfill different mechanisms of development depending on sex.
Hormones travel through the bloodstream and stimulate the testes (the two egg-shaped glands in the scrotum, which is a sac that hangs under the penis), to begin synthesizing testosterone and sperm.
In girls, these hormones target both ovaries, which contain oocytes that have been in the body since birth; Hormones cause the ovaries to start producing other hormones called estrogen and progesterone, which prepare a girl's body to start her periods and be able to one day become pregnant.
