AB The  normal  reproductive  physiological  development  in  the  adolescent  permits  the  identification  of  pathologic  conditions  that  deviate  from  the  predictable  sequence  of  hormonal,  anatomic,  and  histologic  changes  of  puberty.  A  comprehensive  overview  of  the  hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal  axis  with  the  associated  hormonal  changes  of  puberty  is  presented  in  Chapter  540.  The  current  chapter  focuses  on  the  normal  anatomic  and  histologic  changes  in  the  major  reproductive  organs  of  female  and  male  adolescents  during  puberty  with  specific  reference  to  hormonal  influences.
