Hormones communicate with other parts of the body through signaling pathways! π‘
When a hormone is released, it travels in the blood until it finds a special place called a receptor. The receptor is like a lock, and the hormone is the key! π
Once they connect, the receptor sends a message to the target cells, telling them to change or act in a certain way. This process helps coordinate many functions, such as growth,
energy use, and moods! Itβs like a team working together to make sure everything runs smoothly! π
