Hormones act as chemical messengers in the body, regulating various physiological processes such as growth, metabolism, and mood. They are produced by glands and released into the bloodstream, where they travel to target organs and tissues to elicit specific responses. Hormones play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and coordinating complex bodily functions.
