Introduction
Hormones are part of the endoctrine system. Endocrine glands, which are special groups of cells, make up the hormones. Thye are chemicals released by the cells to send messages to other parts to the body. Steroid hormones, protein hormones, and amine hormones are the three specifically designated hormones variations of the endocrine system. Hormones are created to be exacting in their performance, meaning that the cells and their intention of action is precise and they do not initiate any form of action beyond their target cells.
effects
Hormones originate primarly from the pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, adrenal glands and pancreas. Woman have overies and men have testes that activate their reproduction system. Hormones are normally drawn upon for specific short-term tasks. they also stimulates the body for a new phase in life such as development,puberty,pregnancy,sexual function,reproduction and mood. A lot of these changes contain noticable changes in ones appearance. [1]
How it works
Types of Hormones
There are two major classes of hormones: proteins, peptides, and modified amino acids steroids. Each hormone type is either created from the cholesterol naturally produced in the body or derived from naturally occurring amino acids. Amino acid derivatives are responsible for the creation of protein hormones, which are then tied together by peptide chains. Protein hormones account for the vast majority of hormones in the human body.
