What are hormones and what is their function?

Hormones along with the nervous system, provide control over the organs in the body. Hormones are chemicals that affect cells’ activity by speeding up or slowing down the chemical reactions that take place in them.

The name hormone comes from the Greek word hormao meaning “I excite”. While nervous system intervention is instantaneous, for example, if we touch something hot we immediately pull away our hand, the effects of hormones can be felt a few minutes, hours weeks, or years later.

More than 20 hormones circulate in our bloodstream, each with a specific action. With the bloodstream, they reach all parts of the body, but they affect only organs that have specific chemical receptors.

When the hormones reach and affect the cells, they decompose, but in our body, new ones are constantly being produced.

Hormones are produced in endocrine glands and passed from the cells of the gland directly into the blood flowing through the gland.

Your brain controls the release of hormones from endocrine glands to maintain a balance inside your body, called homeostasis.

Stressors – from external environmental conditions to internal or emotional factors – affect this balance.
