Hormones

Hi,

Some really cool videos for your viewing pleasure. Learn where hormones are produced, how they travel to the target organs and how they help to co-ordinate processes in our bodies.

The endocrine glands (places which secrete hormones) have a rich supply of blood capillaries in them to carry the chemical messengers(hormones)to all parts of the body where the blood stream flows. the target cells have complementary receptor on their surface membranes. these receptors will bind with the hormones and produces the specific response. After the hormones have done their functions will be destroyed in the liver.
