HORMONES Hormones are a class of regulatory biochemicals produced in all multicellular organisms by glands‚ and transported by the circulatory system to a distant target organ to coordinate its physiology and behavior. They serve as a major form of communication between different organs and tissues. Hormones regulate a variety of physiological and behavioral activities‚ including digestion‚ metabolism‚ respiration‚ tissue function‚ sensory perception‚ sleep‚excretion‚ lactation‚ stress‚ growth and

SENSE- is the ability to perceive stimuli. SENSATION (PERCEPTION)- is the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors. GENERAL SENSES- are those with receptors distributed over a large part of the body. SOMATIC SENSES- provides sensory information about the body and the environment. VISCERAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure and are localized to specific parts of the body such as pain and pressure. SPECIAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure such as smell
