Note that hormones regulate various physiological processes such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, and homeostasis.
Identify that hormones can be proteins, peptides, steroids, or amines, depending on their chemical structure.
Summarize the definition: a hormone is a signaling molecule released by endocrine cells that influences the function of distant target cells.
