7. A critical event for the development of reproductive organs takes place about one month before birth wherein the female ovaries formed in the abdominal cavity, approximately the location at the male testes, descend to enter the scrotrum . Puberty is the period of life, generally between the ages of 10-15 years old, when the reproductive organs grow to their adult size and become functional under the influence of rising levels of gonadal hormones (testosterone in males and estrogen in females ). In females, the budding of their breasts usually occuring at the age of 11 signals their puberty stage . Menarche is the first menstrual period of females which happens two years after the start of puberty. Hormones play an important role in the regulation of ovulation and fertility of females .
