What are the major types of hormone structures? Provide two examples of each.
Introduction:
The body's various systems and organs must work in harmony to preserve homeostasis. Hormones are molecules that are released when communication between cells or between cells and tissues in different sections of the body is necessary. These compounds are transported to their target cells by hormones, which are secreted into bodily fluids. The hormones cause a reaction at the target cells, which are cells that have a receptor for a signal or ligand from a signal cell. The endocrine system is made up of the cells, tissues, and organs that secrete hormones. The thyroid gland, which generates thyroid hormones that control metabolic rates, and the adrenal gland, which produces hormones like adrenaline and norepinephrine that govern reactions to stress, are two examples of glands in the endocrine system.
