True

The human body undergoes several changes during adolescence. These changes mark the onset of puberty. Puberty ends when an adolescent reaches reproductive maturity. The most conspicuous change during puberty is the sudden increase in height. At this time the bones of the arms and the legs elongate and make a person tall and the growth in the limbs usually happens first. The growth spurt characteristically occurs earlier in girls than in boys.
