Another word for hormones is chemicals. They come from multicellular organisms. To be able to produce hormones you have to have proteins in your system. When hormones are produced they are placed into the tissue and then travel through the blood to the target cell. The target cell is the cell that receives the hormone. When you have a good steady healthy metabolism that means you are producing the healthy amount of hormones. There are many different types of hormones. The hormone to the right is a Epinephrine hormone(adrenaline).
