Developing the physical changes associated with puberty unusually early is known as precocious puberty. In a girl, these changes are the development of breasts, pubic and/or armpit hair before eight years of age, or starting periods (menarche) before nine years of age.

In precocious puberty, there is early activation of nerve cells in the hypothalamus producing gonadotrophin-releasing hormone or excess gonadotrophin production from the pituitary gland as a result of a pituitary tumour. In both cases, the pattern of pubertal development is usually normal, but premature or precocious.

The anterior pituitary makes several important hormones: 1  Growth hormone. 2  Puberty hormones (or gonadotrophins) 3  Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to make Thyroxine)  Prolactin and Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal stress hormone, cortisol).

In other cases, signs of puberty occur. prematurely because of abnormalities in the ovaries, testicles, or adrenal glands. Tests. are usually necessary to determine whether the cause of precocious puberty is in the. brain or in another area of the body.

Other androgens from the adrenal glands (located near the kidneys) produce pubic and axillary hair at the time of puberty. Estrogen: A female sex hormone, which is responsible for breast development in. girls. It is made mainly by the ovaries, but is also present in boys in smaller. amounts.

Where is the pituitary gland? It is usually about the size of a pea and consists of two parts (often called lobes). A front part, called the anterior pituitary and a back part, called the posterior pituitary. The pituitary gland sits in a bony hollow called the pituitary fossa. This is behind the bridge of the nose and below the base of the brain, close to the optic nerves.

In normal puberty, hormones from an area of the brain called the hypothalamus signal to the pituitary gland (a small gland situated underneath the brain) via a hormone called gonadotrophin-releasing hormone to produce hormones known as gonadotrophins (luteinising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone).

The Pituitary Gland: The Master Gland. The pituitary gland, which is often referred to as the master gland, regulates the. release of most of the body's hormones (chemical messengers that send information to. different parts of the body). It is a pea-sized gland that is located underneath the brain. The pituitary gland controls the release of thyroid, adrenal, growth and sex hormones. The hypothalamus, located in the brain above the pituitary gland, regulates the release. of hormones from the pituitary gland.
