A hormone is a chemical messenger produced by glands in the endocrine system that regulates various physiological processes in the body, such as growth, metabolism, and mood. Hormones are released into the bloodstream and travel to target organs or tissues, where they elicit specific responses. They play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and influencing numerous bodily functions. Examples include insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels, and adrenaline, which prepares the body for a "fight or flight" response.
