The Importance of Hormones. The function of hormones in the body is inarguably very important; even the slightest change in how a hormone works could impact the entire body. In order to perform all the necessary processes normally, such as growth, development, metabolism, movement, and reproduction, hormones are needed.ut simply, hormones are the body s chemical messengers that relay a signal from cell to cell. Endocrine glands produce and release these hormones into the bloodstream, where they will travel and bind with a specific receptor, to reproduce or to trigger the production of proteins.
Parts of the Endocrine System. Hormones. Hormones are chemicals that control specific biological functions. They are made in your endocrine glands, secreted in small amounts directly into your bloodstream, and travel to other organs where they induce an action in the organâs cells.The Major Glands of the Endocrine System. Hypothalamus.he hypothalamusâ âreleasingâ hormones regulate the secretion of other hormones in your pituitary gland, which in turn affects other endocrine glands in your body. The hypothalamusâ âinhibitingâ hormones, as the name implies, turns off the secretion of some of the hormones released from the pituitary.
