2. WhatareHormones?Hormones are chemical substances that act like messenger molecules in the body of humans and other animals. After being made in one part of the body, they travel to other parts of the body where they help control how cells and organs do their work. Plants have hormones too – they are called phytohormones Hormones are produced by special organs called glands and carried to a different target organ in the blood.
3. WHAT DO HORMONES DO?Hormones act as a form of communication between organs in the body and help control lots of important processes including digestion, metabolism, growth and development, reproduction and sleep.Sex Hormones control puberty, egg and sperm production, pregnancy, birth and lactation. They affect the way males and females look and behave and determine when they mate and with who!
