Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As discussed in Chapter 1, FSH and LH are released from the pituitary in response to the pulsatile secretion of GnRH from the hypothalamus. Thus, puberty involves increased release of GnRH, gonadotropins, and sex steroids from the hypothalamus, pituitary, and gonads, respectively.
