What are Hormones?

Question

???

Answer 1

A chemical in your body mostly during puberty that makes you more intrested in the opposite sex and always think about doing things with them.

Answer 2

A hormone (from Greek όρμή - "to set in motion") is a chemical messenger from one cell (or group of cells) to another. All multicellular organisms produce hormones (including plants - see phytohormone).

The function of hormones is to serve as a signal to the target cells; the action of hormones is determined by the pattern of secretion and the signal transduction of the receiving tissue. The best-known animal hormones are those produced by endocrine glands of vertebrate animals, but hormones are produced by nearly every organ system and tissue type in a multicellular organism.

Endocrine hormone molecules are secreted (released) directly into the bloodstream, while exocrine hormones (or ectohormones) are secreted directly into a duct, and from the duct they either flow into the bloodstream or they flow from cell to cell by diffusion in a process known as paracrine signalling.

That is the encyclopedia answer.

Answer 6

Haha, I mean estrogen and testosterone. When you are in junior high/high school, your bodies are changing, you're maturing, and your hormones are out of whack. They make you really emotional, or with guys, sometimes aggressive and jerk-like. It's normal, and as you get older, they aren't out of control anymore. That's what I meant in the last question, sorry :)
