Your Changing Body When we talk about these changes it is normal to feel… curious disgust comfortable excited embarrassed shy

WHAT IS PUBERTY Is the process of developing/transforming into an adult, which is including maturation of the physical body outside and emotionally mental inside.

When does it occur ? It varies among individualsGenetic, nutritional and environmental may influence the average age of the pubertyHypothalamus and Pituitary glands start making some hormones like Growth Hormone, LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) that act on parts of your bodyThe pituitary also make sex hormones like Testosterone (most in boys) and Estrogen (most in girls)

BOYS Somewhere between 10 and 15 yearsWith quite a lot of boys the first changes start to happen around 11 or 12 years oldGIRLSAnywhere between 8 and 13 years (sometimes earlier/later)Often first changes happen around 10 or 11 years old

At 8-12 At 8-14At 9-15At 10-16 At 12-19 At 9-12 At 12-13 At 13-14 At 14-15 At 15-18

What changes happen to boys? Grow taller and heavier Bones grow bigger and heavierNose and jaw get bigger and face gets longerProminent adam’s apple Get more muscles Hair and skin can become oily and you may get pimples Body sweats more

What changes happen to boys? Hair grows on the face, under the arm, around the genitals (pubic hair), may get more hair on arms, legs and chest. Voice gets deeperPenis and testicles grow Scrotum changes May have mood swings, sexual thoughts and feelings Breasts may grow

What causes these changes?

What will I look like when I grow up? That depends mostly on your HEREDITY, the GENES you got when an egg cell and a sperm cell from your birth parents came together to make the cells that developed into you Genes mostly determine how tall you will grow, the colour of your hair, the size and shape of your penis or breasts and your overall body shape. Other things that affect our body are the foods we eat, how active we are and how much sleep we get.

What are the sex organs? These parts are also called the reproductive organs and genitals   Urethra Penis Testicles or Testes Scrotum The parts are:

What are the sex organs?  Urethrathe tube through which urine and semen leaves the boy’s body Penis tube-like organ that hangs outside the bodycome in all sizes and shapes, determined by our genes Testicles or testes usually two, one hangs lower Sometimes called balls or nutsWhere sperm are made Scrotumbag of skin that holds testicleskeeps them at right temperature to make sperm, slightly cooler than body’s temperaturegets bigger and baggier and turns a darker colour

What happens on the inside? Hormones from the pituitary make the testicles grow and they start making more testosterone and producing sperm After puberty you make 200,000 - 400,000 sperm cells a day for the rest of your lifeSperm build up in tubes around the testiclesThey travel along some tubes and mix with fluids from glands

What happens on the inside? Sperm + fluids = semen

How does the semen come out? If semen is going to come out, the penis is likely to be erectA penis gets erect when blood rushes into itMuscles push the semen into the urethra and out the penis This is called an ejaculation .

What can cause an erection?Boys get erections for all kinds of reasons – they might happen if you :Are thinking about something sexyWhen you wake in the morning and have to pee When you are relaxed When you are anxious or frightened For no reason at all

When does ejaculation happen? If a boy wakes up and finds a wet, sticky spot on his bedclothes semen came out when he was sleeping. This is called a “wet dream”If a boy touches or rubs his penis and it gets erect and semen comes out. This is called masturbation. Some boys have wet dreams, some don’t Some boys masturbate, some don’t However it happens is okay

Does penis size matter? Testicles grow first so your penis may look as if it is shrinking.It can take a while for your penis to grow.Penises, like noses and ears and hands, come in all sizes and shapes and colours. They vary how they curve and stick out when erect. Penises, when erect, are more alike in size than when they are soft .
