Sexual dimorphism in human physiology
Sexual dimorphism in human physiology refers to the distinct physiological characteristics associated with either male or female humans. These differences are caused by the effects of the different sex chromosome complement in males and females, and differential exposure to gonadal sex hormones during development.
