• Hormones are chemical messengers released from ductless or endocrine glands

  • They travel within the bloodstream to act on distant target cells
• Hormones can be either proteins (insulin, adrenaline) or lipids (testosterone, estrogen)
• The Endocrine Gland of Insulin and Glucagon is the pancreas
