Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The age at which the sex hormones (or gametes) begin to be produced, and the boy and the girl become sexually mature (able to reproduce) is called puberty. When the brain begins to release a hormone called gonadotropin-releasing hormone, puberty begins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pubertal growth results from increased sex steroid and growth hormone (GH) secretion. Estrogens appear to play an important role in the regulation of pubertal growth in both girls and boys.

Detailed explanation-3: -Height increase averages out to be about 6 centimeters (2.4 inches) per year throughout childhood. Then there is a period of slow growth right before puberty. Once puberty starts, there is a sharp increase in growth of about 8 centimeters/year.

Detailed explanation-4: -Human growth hormone, also known as hGH and somatotropin, is a natural hormone your pituitary gland makes and releases that acts on many parts of the body to promote growth in children.
