The Role of Hormonal Regulation in the Maintenance of Homeostasis
Abstract
Of all biologically active compounds and substrates taking part in regulation of biochemical processes and functions, a special role belongs to hormones. Hormones are organic substances that are formed in tissues of one type (endocrine or endocrine glands), enter the bloodstream, are transported through the bloodstream to tissues of another type (target tissues), where they exert their biological effect (i.e. regulate metabolism, behavior and physiological functions of the body, as well as cell growth, division and differentiation).
