Chemical Messengers
READING
Endocrine system- This is a series of glands throughout the body. These regulate
the body by releasing hormones.
Hormones – These chemicals make the body´s cells perform specific actions.
Examples : Insulin is one type of hormone. It regulates the amount of sugar in the
blood.
Neurotransmitters- These chemical transmit signals from neurons to other cells.
Example: Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter and hormone released in the
brain. It regulates the functions of certain bodily organs.
Example: An endorphin is a neurotransmitter and hormone released in the brain. It
is produced during sensations of pleasure and pain.
Neuromodulators-these are groups of neurotransmitters.
Example : Acetylcholine is one type of neuromodulator that controls muscle
movement.
Get ready!
• Questions :
1. What is the difference between neurotransmitters and

neuromodulators?
Neurotransmitters and neuromodulators are both responsible
for transmitting signals from neurons to other cells in the body.
However, a neurotransmitter is a simple process that transmits
a single signal to one are of the body. A neuromodulator, on the
other hand, transmits information using multiple
neurotransmitter. So it sends a complex network of signals to
different areas at once.
2. What is an example of a hormone and its function?
One example of a hormone is insulin. It regulates the body´s blood

sugar levels. An organ called the pancreas produces and releases
insulin. Then, the hormone travels through the bloodstream. If insulin
is present, cells will not absorb and store sugar. Instead, the sugar will
leave the body
