Hormones help regulate many of our body’s functions by influencing physical and mental responses. They maintain balance in order to make important processes and functions could work more efficiently.

Hormones are produced in the body and transported by body fluids such as blood or juices. They are regulators that stimulate certain cells or tissues and stimulate them to action.

A somatotrophic hormone is also called growth hormone and it is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. His role is to stimulate the growth of all tissues of the body including bones.

The posterior lobe of the pituitary gland produces two hormones, vasopressin, and oxytocin which are synthesized by the hypothalamus. Oxytocin is involved in reproduction, childbirth, and the period after childbirth. Also, it is involved in social bonding. Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, ADH) plays a key role in maintaining osmolality and therefore in maintaining the volume of water in the extracellular fluid.
