AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hormones can exist freely in systemic circulation, but the majority are bound with transport proteins. Transport proteins hold hormones inactive in systemic circulation and create a reservoir within the circulation that facilitates an even distribution of hormones throughout the tissue or organ.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Endocrine system sends hormones through the Circulatory system to control and coordinate body functions in much the same way as the nervous system uses tiny electrical signals. brain and complement each other, but they tend to work at different speeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vertebrate Endocrine Glands and Hormones Unlike plant hormones, animal hormones are often (though not always) produced in specialized hormone-synthesizing glands (shown below). The hormones are then secreted from the glands into the blood stream, where they are transported throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide. These roadways travel in one direction only, to keep things going where they should.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hormones are released from the endocrine glands directly into the bloodstream via which they travel to reach the target sites. Hormones are the chemical messenger molecules that are produced in the endocrine glands of the body.
