hormones

Definition of hormones in English English dictionary: Natural substances released by an organ that can influence the function of other organs in the body; Act as chemical messengers to body organs; These are chemical messengers released by endocrine glands and carried through the bloodstream to specific target tissues, where they produce either rapid or long-term effects For the purposes of asthma, hormones secreted by the adrenal glands (located atop the kidneys) known as corticosteroids are of concern; plural of hormone; Chemicals that circulate through the blood and affect the functioning or growth of other parts of the bodyhormones (141 0K); chemical messengers, secreted by a variety of glands in the body; Regulators of various biological processes through their ability to control the action of enzymes Made from proteins, such as insulin for blood sugar control, or cholesterol for testosterone control; A chemical or protein that acts as a messenger or stimulatory signal, relaying instructions to stop or start certain physiological processes Hormones are synthesized in one type of cell and then released to direct the function of other cell types; Substances that act as chemical messengers in the body They are produced in parts of the body called endocrine glands Hormones travel around the body in the blood and control how other parts of the body work For example, parathyroid hormone from the parathyroid glands affects kidney function; Natural chemicals produced by our bodies that are responsible for successful reproduction, development, normal behavior, and maintenance of normal body processes; Substances secreted by various organs of the body that regulate growth, metabolism, and reproduction; Chemical substances produced by glands which circulate in the blood and help control growth, reproduction and other functions; Chemicals produced by glands in the body and circulate in the bloodstream Hormones control the actions of certain cells or organs; chemical substances created by the body that control numerous body functions; Chemicals released into the bloodstream that control different functions in the body, including metabolism, growth, sexual development, and responses to stress or illness; biological chemicals that act as "messengers" in organisms by causing changes in biological processes; Chemicals produced by various glands of the body that regulate the actions of certain cells or organs; Proteins produced by organs of the body that trigger activity in other locations; Chemicals produced by certain glands in the body Hormones control functions of certain cells or organs; Chemicals that travel through the blood stream to deliver messages from one part of the body to another Hormones are produced in specialized areas, such as the ovaries and thyroid glands, and signal other areas, such as the uterus and brain; Chemicals released in the body that regulate body and mind function Some are released on an unconscious schedule kept by the body and mind, some are released in response to conscious events Examples of hormones are epinephrine, norepinephrine, adrenaline, cortisol TOP; Chemical substances produced by glands, which circulate in the blood and help control growth, reproduction and other functions See also serotonin; Chemical substances produced by the body that, depending on the hormone, govern many body processes Certain hormones cause physical maturation during puberty These are the ones implicated in acne; Chemical substances in the body that affect the function of organs and tissues; Chemicals produced by glands in the body and circulated in the bloodstream Hormones control the actions of certain cells or organs
hormone: A synthetic compound with the same activity
hormone: Any substance, produced by one tissue and conveyed by the bloodstream to another to effect physiological activity
hormone: Any similar substance in plants
plant hormones: plural form of plant hormone
trophic hormones: plural form of trophic hormone
excretion of hormones: discharge of hormones (stimulating substances produced by the body)
hormone: A chemical substance produced in the body by an organ, which has a specific regulatory effect on the activity of other organs or cells Hippocampus: Area of gray matter extending the entire length of the floor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle of the brain
hormone: A chemical produced by glands in the body that controls cellular functions and transmits messages from the brain to the cells
hormone: An active chemical substance formed in one part of the body and carried in the blood to other parts of the body, where it stimulates or suppresses cell and tissue activity See Pituitary Gland
hormone: a chemical messenger involved in the regulation and coordination of cellular and bodily functions
hormone: A chemical substance that is produced by an endocrine gland and released into the bloodstream to have its effect on other parts of the body Also known as a "chemical messenger" For example, thyroid hormone, released by the thyroid gland speeds up or stimulates certain bodily functions
hormone: products of living cells that circulate in body fluids and produce a specific effect on the activity of cells
hormone: A "messenger" molecule of the body that helps coordinate the actions of various tissues; it is made in one part of the body and transported, via the bloodstream, to other parts, where it has a specific effect on cells 2
hormone: Essential substances produced by the glands that regulate bodily functions
hormone: A hormone is a substance produced in one part of the body; it passes into the bloodstream and is carried to other distant organs or tissues where it acts to modify their structure or function
hormone: A chemical substance formed in one organ or part of the body and carried in the blood to another organ or part
hormone: a chemical messenger that is transported (often by the bloodstream) a relatively long distance from its source to the cells it affects Insulin, vasopressin, testosterone, and cortisone are all examples
hormone: A hormone is a chemical, usually occurring naturally in your body, that makes an organ of your body do something. a chemical substance produced by your body that influences its growth, development, and condition (hormon, from horman ). Organic compound (often a steroid or peptide) that is produced in one part of a multicellular organism and travels to another part to exert its action. Hormones regulate physiological activities including growth, reproduction, and homeostasis in vertebrates; molting and maintenance of the larval state (see larva) in insects; and growth, bud dormancy, and leaf shedding in plants. Most vertebrate hormones originate in specialized tissues (see endocrine system; gland) and are carried to their targets through the circulation. Among the many mammalian hormones are ACTH, sex hormones, thyroxine, insulin, and epinephrine. Insect hormones include ecdysone, thoracotropic hormone, and juvenile hormone. Plant hormones include ethylene, abscisin, auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins
hormone: chemical substance formed in the body that is carried in the bloodstream to affect another part of the body; an example is thyroid hormone, produced by the thyroid gland in the neck, which affects growth, temperature regulation, metabolic rate, and other body functions
hormone: A substance produced in one part of the body and carried by the blood to another part of the body where it causes a response (eg, insulin, produced by the pancreas, that promotes the uptake of glucose by body cells) For more information see The hormones of the human (Kimball's Biology Pages, USA) and Types of hormones (Center for Bioenvironmental Research, Tulane and Xavier Universities, USA)
hormone: A chemical substance formed in one organ and carried in the circulation to another organ on which it exerts a stimulating effect; thus, according to Starling, the gastric glands are stimulated by a hormone from the pyloric mucous membrane
hormone: A chemical agent that controls various physiological processes within an organism e g adrenaline stimulates the heart; auxins and cytokinins in plants stimulate cell proliferation and growth
