Hormones are chemicals released by cells, glands, or organs that affect growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, and mood.
\nHormones are secreted into the directly into the blood but reactions occur only when hormones encounter cells with a specific receptor for that hormone. When the hormone and cell connect, it causes a biological response. Hormone signaling is powerful, and too much or too little of hormones can cause significant changes in the body. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
