Hormones are chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands in the body, such as the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and pancreas. These substances are secreted directly into the bloodstream and travel to various organs and tissues, where they regulate a wide range of physiological processes and behaviors. Hormones control or influence many critical functions, including growth and development, metabolism, sexual function, and mood. The balance of hormones is crucial for maintaining health, and imbalances can lead to a variety of medical conditions, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, growth disorders, and mood swings. The study of hormones and their action is known as endocrinology. Hormones work at very low concentrations and their effects can be profound, affecting almost every aspect of bodily function.
