Question

Definition and structure and function steroid hormones on and uses

Answer 1

Hey user
Here's your answer

Steroid hormone, any of a group of hormones that belong to the class of chemical compounds known as steroids; they are secreted by three “steroid glands”—the adrenal cortex, testes, and ovaries—and during pregnancy by the placenta.

Steroid hormones are secreted by three endocrine organs: the testes, which produce testosterone; the ovaries, which produce estrogen; and the adrenal cortex, which produces steroid hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone. Cholesterol is the parent compound from which steroids are derived.
