Endocrine signals are
A
Short distance
B
Only used during stressful times
C
Long distance
D
Part of the rebel alliance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine signaling is an example of long distance communication between hormone producing cells, tissues and glands and cells that express hormone receptor molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, endocrine signaling is an example of long-distance signaling. Specialized cells, tissues, glands, and organs use the circulatory system to send the hormones they produce in order to target cells in other parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neuronal signaling is perhaps the best-studied example of long-distance biophysical signaling.

Detailed explanation-4: -In endocrine signaling, the signaling molecules (hormones) are secreted by specialized endocrine cells and carried through the circulation to act on target cells at distant body sites.

Detailed explanation-5: -Endocrine Signaling (In the body, many endocrine cells are located in endocrine glands, such as the thyroid gland, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary gland.) These types of signals usually produce a slower response but have a longer-lasting effect.
