Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine hormone are secreted into the blood and carried by blood and tissue fluids to the cells they act upon, while exocrine hormones are secreted into a duct, and then into the bloodstream. Exocrine hormones are transferred from cell to cell by diffusion (paracrine signaling).

Detailed explanation-2: -The endocrine glands do not have duct, so they release these hormones directly into the blood. The hormones travel in the blood circulation to reach their target sites (cells, tissues or organs) they can also travel in the lymphatic system when they are destroyed in the liver and removed by the kidneys.
