Ronch [10]1 year ago
7 0

The functions of certain cells or organs are regulated by hormones, which circulate in the circulation.

Some basic characteristics of a hormone are:

  • They are substances generated chemically by certain endocrine gland cells.
  • Circulation carries them to the desired cells, tissue, or organ.
  • They act according to their kind.
  • They are present in incredibly small numbers. Most of them are soluble in water.
  • They have a light molecular structure.
  • After acting, they are destroyed.
  • They are heterogeneous substances in terms of composition.
  • They can't be kept for a very long period; typically, they are synthesized and secured as needed.
  • Typically, they create hormone receptor complexes in target cells to activate them.
