[[Puberty - Defining Puberty - Anatomy & Physiology|Puberty]] is the process of aquiring reproductive capability, and age at onset of puberty varies from between [[Puberty- Overview of Puberty - Anatomy & Physiology|species]]. There are several factors involved in triggering the [[Puberty - Factors Influencing the Onset of Puberty - Anatomy & Physiology|onset]] of puberty, including body size, nutritional factors, day length, genetic factors and environmental and social factors. The onset depends on the ability of specific hypothalamic neurons to produce [[Puberty - Endocrine Events of Puberty - Anatomy & Physiology|gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)]] in sufficient quantities to both promote and support gametogenesis. The hypothalamus itself is influenced by hormonal factors that are [[Puberty - Differences in the Male and Female Hypothalamus- Anatomy & Physiology|male or female specific]].
