Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Long distance signals involving hormones are ____ signals.
A
paracrine
B
synaptic
C
endocrine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In long-distance endocrine signaling, signals are produced by specialized cells and released into the bloodstream, which carries them to target cells in distant parts of the body. Signals that are produced in one part of the body and travel through the circulation to reach far-away targets are known as hormones.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-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 These types of signals usually produce a slower response but have a longer-lasting effect. The ligands released in endocrine signaling are called hormones, signaling molecules that are produced in one part of the body but affect other body regions some distance away.
