Key Stage 4

Meaning

A hormone is a chemical messenger used to send signals around the body to target organs via the blood stream.

About Hormones

Hormones are used in the coordination of the body.

Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands.

Different hormones affect the behaviour of different target organs.

Hormones travel around the body through the blood.

Hormones can last a long time in the blood before being removed so the behaviour of a target organ may be changed for some time.

Hormones compared to Electrical Impulses

Hormones travel around the body in the blood stream while electrical impulses travel via the nerves.

Hormones take longer to travel around the body than electrical impulses.

The effect of hormones can be persistent while the elecrtrical impulses are instantaneous.
