Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pituitary gland signals the brain and other glands to begin producing sex hormones in children's bodies. It secretes luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that stimulate the gonads (testicles in boys and ovaries in girls) to begin producing testosterone and estrogen. The hypothalamus works in conjunction with the pituitary gland to regulate the release of these hormones.
