PATHOLOGY

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: -Hormones are transported from the place of origin to the target cells through the blood. Each hormone acts upon only those cells which have specific receptors. The cells which are acted upon by hormones are called target cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hormones are released into body fluids, usually blood, which carries them to their target cells where they elicit a response. The cells that secrete hormones are often located in specific organs, called endocrine glands, and the cells, tissues, and organs that secrete hormones make up the endocrine system.
