उत्तर
Hormones:
Hormones are chemical regulators of the body which are synthesised by specific cells or glands of the body and poured directly into the blood, and they show their effects on their respective target cells or organs. Most of the hormones are produced by the endocrine glands; however, certain other glands may also produce hormones as a secondary function.
