Solution
Hormones and the effect of their excessive secretion:
Hormones or chemical messengers are the special chemicals secreted by the endocrine glands in humans.
These chemicals get transported to the target organs through the circulatory system, where they regulate the physiological processes carried out by these organs.
Hormones are effective when secreted in low concentrations. Secretion of excessive hormones is harmful and can cause several hormonal disorders.
