Abstract
Puberty consists of interrelated biological changes and occurs at a time when the individual also encounters cognitive and social changes. In this article we examine our current knowledge regarding the onset of puberty, the sequence and timing of puberty, and medical issues and physiologic changes that may arise with pubertal maturation. Figures included demonstrate the sexual maturation stages and interrelationships between the various parameters of puberty.
