A hormone (from Greek ὁρμή "impetus") is a chemical released by a cell or a gland in one part of the body that sends out messages that affect cells in other parts of the organism. Only a small amount of hormone is required to alter cell metabolism. In essence, it is a chemical messenger that transports a signal from one cell to another.

What are the hormonal responses and describe them?
The hormonal responses are basically responses or reactions given by the hormones. This response is triggered by either negative or positive feedback mechanism. When the hormone level is too low, the gland (usually endocrine) releases the hormones into the bloodstreams where it travels until it reaches the target organ. When there are too much hormones, the gland is triggered to stop the release of hormones. This mechanism of maintaining the balance without giving excess amount of hormone is known as negative feedback. In a positive feedback, the gland is triggered to release more hormones when excess amount of hormones is present.
