hormone response

Hormone response is how your body reacts when signals called hormones are released into your bloodstream to regulate different functions, like growth, energy, or mood. When a specific need arises—such as stress or hunger—the brain or other organs send out hormones that travel through the blood to target cells or organs. These hormones then trigger specific responses, like increasing heart rate, releasing sugars for energy, or initiating sleep. This process helps maintain balance (homeostasis) and ensure your body functions smoothly according to your internal and external environment.
