INTRODUCTION
Hormone,
chemical that
transfers
information and
instructions
between cells in
animals andplants.
Often described as
the bodys
chemical messen!
ers, hormones re!
ulate !rowth
andde"elopment,
control the
function of "arious
tissues,
support reproducti
"e functions,
andre!ulate
metabolism #the
process used to
brea$ down food to
create ener!y%.
Unli$einformation

system, which is
transmitted "ia
electronic
impulses thattra"el
&uic$ly and ha"e
an almost
immediate and
short'term e(ect,
hormones act
moreslowly, and
their e(ects
typically are
maintained o"er a
lon!er period
of time.Hormones
were )rst identi)ed
in *+- by ritish
physiolo!ists
/illiam ayliss and
0rnest1tarlin!.
These researchers
showed that a
substance ta$en
from the linin! of
the intestinecould
be in2ected into a
do! to stimulate the
pancreas to secrete
3uid. They called
thesubstance
secretin and coined
the term hormone
from the 4ree$
word
hormo
, which meansto
set in motion.
Today more than
* hormones
ha"e been
identi)ed.Hormone
s are made by
speciali5ed !lands
or tissues that
manufacture and
secrete
thesechemicals as
the body needs
them. The ma2ority
of hormones are
produced by the !
lands ofthe
endocrine system,
such as
the pituitary,
thyroid, adrenal !
lands, and the
o"aries ortestes.
These endocrine !
lands produce and
secrete hormones
directly into the
bloodstream.Howe
"er, not all
hormones are
produced by
endocrine !lands.
The
mucous membrane
s ofthe small
intestine secrete
hormones
that stimulate
secretion of di!
esti"e 2uices
from thepancreas.
Other hormones
are produced in the
placenta, an or!an
formed durin! pre!
nancy,to re!ulate
some aspects
of fetal
de"elopment.Horm
ones are classi)ed
into two basic
types based on
their chemical
ma$eup. The
ma2orityof
hormones are
peptides, or amino
acid deri"ati"es that
include the
hormones
produced bythe
anterior pituitary,
thyroid,
parathyroid,
placenta, and
pancreas. 6eptide
hormones
aretypically
produced as lar!er
proteins. /hen they
are called into
action, these
peptides arebro$en
down into biolo!
ically acti"e
hormones and
secreted into the
blood to be
circulatedthrou!
hout the body. The
second type of
hormones are
steroid hormones,
which includethose
hormones secreted
by the adrenal !
lands and o"aries or
testes. 1teroid
