Question

Write all the hormones and function of them secreted by endocrine glands?

Answer 1

The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce andsecrete hormones, chemical substances produced in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs. These hormonesregulate the body's growth, metabolism (the physical and chemical processes of the body), and sexual development andfunction.

Answer 2

Although hormones circulate throughout the body, each type of hormone influences only certain organs and tissues. Some hormones affect only one or two organs, whereas others have influence throughout the body. For example, thyroid-stimulating hormone, produced in the pituitary gland affects only the thyroid gland. In contrast, thyroid hormone, produced in the thyroid gland affects cells throughout the body and is involved in such important functions as regulating growth of cells, controlling the heart rate, and affecting the speed at which calories are burned. Insulin, secreted by the islet cells of the pancreas, affects the processing (metabolism) of glucose, protein, and fat throughout the body.

Most hormones are derived from proteins Others are steroids, which are fatty substances derived from cholesterol.
