One method of sending signals around the body is via the endocrine system. The endocrine system produces hormones, sent into the bloodstream, which travel to target cells. In this title, you'll learn where different hormones are made and how they can have targeted effects. We will discuss adrenaline, a stress response hormone. You'll also learn about insulin, which moderates the amount of sugar in the blood. Diabetes results from the body being unable to produce or detect insulin. The body uses hormones to govern our sexual characteristics, causing the differences between males and females. To understand the female menstrual cycle, we need to learn how the various different hormones work together. We'll look at how the cycle is structured, and how scientists use this information to help couples with low fertility to have a baby.
