How do hormones travel to target cells?
A
Blood Stream
B
Ducts
C
Secretory Vessicles
D
Goblet Cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine glands make chemicals called hormones and pass them straight into the bloodstream. Hormones can be thought of as chemical messages. From the blood stream, the hormones communicate with the body by heading towards their target cell to bring about a particular change or effect to that cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. This lets the hormones travel to cells in other parts of the body. The endocrine hormones help control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism, and reproduction. The endocrine system regulates how much of each hormone is released.

Detailed explanation-3: -Circulation: How Hormones Reach and Target Particular Cells. Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The hormones dissolve in plasma and travel the circulatory pathways through various body tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -The term “endocrine” implies that in response to specific stimuli, the products of those glands are released into the bloodstream. The hormones then are carried via the blood to their target cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
