Body hormones

As we know, our body is our most important machine and, like a machine, we have to constantly take care about it. If one part of us it doesn’t work fine, our entire body suffer the consequences because all the things present on us are very important for our daily life.

I can’t say that I consider hormones like something amazing for me, but I have to say that they are very impressive to me.

To introduce, hormones are the chemical messengers of the body, they travel through the bloodstream towards tissues and organs and have a regulatory function of organic balance in multiple aspects of body and mind. Hormones affect a lot of different process like: growth and development, metabolism (like how the body get the food’s energy that we consume), sexual functions, reproduction and state of mine.

Hormones are produced by endocrine glands and the principal glands are: pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, as well as, ovary and testicle can produce hormones too.

Ubication of glands in our body

Hormones are powerful, needed a minimal quantity to cause BIG changes in cells and even the entire body, so for that, the excess or shortage of a specific hormone can produce hormonal disorders which can be very serious.
