Secondary Sexual Characters

Secondary sexual characters are features that appear after puberty in both males and females. These occur due to hormonal changes in the body. In males, there is a development of wide shoulders, narrow hips, heavy muscle mass, enlargement of the voice box, maturation of testis, hair growth in the chest, and enlargement of adam's apple.

Secondary sexual characters are formed due to the production of testosterone in males and estrogen production in females.
