hormones are produced by many organs in the body. The primary producers of hormones are the adrenal glands, the gonads (ovaries in girls, testicles in boys), and the hypothalamus (a little projection off your brain). There are many other hormones produced by other organs of the body- like human chorionic gonadatropin (HCG- what we look for to test for pregnancy) produced by the fertilized egg then the placenta.

There are many endocrine (and exocrine) glands in the body - glands that produce hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that control the action of a different part of the body.

Hormones commonly exist as a 'hormone pair', one to start the action, and the second to stop the reaction. For we don't want an uncontrolled response.

Many of the hormone systems are controlled in turn by the Hypothalamus, a part of the brain stem that represents a very early stage of evolution.

Most of the hormone producing glands are buried in the body, but the Thyroid and the Testes are quite close to the body surface - presumably to keep them cooler(?).

Plants also produce hormones.
