Expert Solution

Step 1

Puberty is the time period during which the physical features of an individual undergo several changes, and a child matures into an adult. The changes that occur in males are as follows –

There is profuse growth of hair in the body, especially in areas like the chest, pubic region, and underarms.
The testis enlarges in size; the size of the penis also increases, both in terms of length and width.
There is the growth of hair in the face (the development of beard and moustache).
The larynx enlarges, and there is a significant deepening in their voice.
There is an increase in their stature.
The foreskin of the tip is retracted.
The individual may experience spontaneous erections either during sleep or even awake.
The structure of bones and skull become heavier.
The strength and mass of muscles also increase.
The secretions from sweat and oil glands are increased.
The shoulder and chest region broadens more as compared to the hips.
