Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At puberty, FSH and LH stimulate the release of additional testosterone by the testes and the release of estradiol by the ovaries. This results in the development of secondary sexual characteristics in both males and females. In males, testosterone is responsible for the growth of facial and body hair, deepening of the voice, and muscle development. In females, estradiol is responsible for breast development, widening of the hips, and onset of menstruation.
