How Hormones Function. The function of hormones in the body is mainly to serve as chemical messengers. The brain receives a message from the nerves, interprets it, and transmits the message to a specific endocrine gland. In response, the endocrine gland releases one or more hormones to bind with a specific cell.ut simply, hormones are the body s chemical messengers that relay a signal from cell to cell. Endocrine glands produce and release these hormones into the bloodstream, where they will travel and bind with a specific receptor, to reproduce or to trigger the production of proteins.
Testosterone (androgen) is a hormone. Hormones are powerful chemicals that help keep our bodies working normally. The term hormone is derived from the Greek word, hormo, which means to set in motion.And thatâs precisely what hormones do. They stimulate, regulate, and control the function of various tissues and organs.Made by specialized groups of cells within structures called glands, hormones are involved in almost every biological process, including sexual reproduction, growth, metabolism, and immune function.njected into a growth-stunted child, the child grew taller. At that time, growth hormone was extracted from the pituitaries of cadavers. As heat destroyed this pituitary extract, it could not be pasteurized and the problem of transmitting disease also existed. In 1986 the Eli Lilly and Company developed Humatrope.
