Description
Growth hormone plays an important part in the complex system of the body. It tells the body to grow.
Hormones are chemical “messengers” produced in one part of the body that travel to another part of the body to create some sort of change.
Special cells in glands and other organs produce hormones and release them into the body at specific times for specific reasons, depending upon the type of hormone. The hormones’ job is to tell parts of the body to do certain things. They travel through the bloodstream to their “target organ” or tissue, where they exert their effect by giving their instructions.
