Q: What are hormones? Hormones are the body’s way of carrying messages from organs in a person’s body through the bloodstream to its cells where homeostasis is achieved. Some of the glands, from about a dozen, in the endocrine system responsible for secreting hormones are the pancreas, thyroid, adrenals, and the pituitary. These glands play a large part in keeping a natural balance in the body.
Q: How do hormones work? Glands produce hormones and the bloodstream carries them to cells throughout the body. The hormones interact with these cells by attaching to special protein receptors. This works much like a key does to a lock. Once enough hormones have attached to receptors, then the cell nucleus is notified and genetic information is exposed thus causing physiological reactions. When this happens stimulation or balance occurs to the body’s development, reproduction, growth, metabolism, and behavior.
