The smell that first hits you when you open a bag of popcorn is perhaps one of the most satisfying, but it may be harmful to your health.
Chemical Nature of Hormones. Chemically, hormones may be classified as either proteins or steroids. All of the hormones in the human body, except the sex hormones and those from the adrenal cortex, are proteins or protein derivatives.ome endocrine glands secrete hormones in response to other hormones. The hormones that cause secretion of other hormones are called tropic hormones. A hormone from gland A causes gland B to secrete its hormone.
Hormones are the chemical messengers of the endocrine system and are transported by blood to distal target cells. Organs that produce and secrete hormones are called glands, while the organs they affect are called target organs. (Read the Difference Between Gland and Organ). Neurotransmitters belong to the nervous system, whereas hormones belong to the endocrine system. â¢ Transmission of neurotransmitters is across the synaptic cleft, whereas that of hormones is by blood.
