Chemical Messengers
• Hormones are chemical messengers that send messages to different parts of your body.
• Hormones are made by glands, and then released into the bloodstream.
• Once the Hormone finds its ‘Target’, the target tissue will respond.

Female Reproductive System• Ovaries- Female sex organs
that produce eggs. • Ovulation- The release of an
egg from the ovaries. • Once the egg leaves the ovary,
it enters a Fallopian Tube- Tube that connects the Ovary to the Uterus. – Fertilization of the egg occurs in
the Fallopian Tube.
