Question
hormone molecules are typically transported to the target cells by...
multiple choice
the peripheral nervous system
the interstitial fluid
the blood stream
the lymphatic system
Hormones are chemical messengers in the body. They are secreted by endocrine glands into the bloodstream. The bloodstream then carries these hormone molecules to their target cells throughout the body. The peripheral nervous system is involved in transmitting nerve impulses, interstitial fluid is the fluid between cells (but hormones are mainly transported via blood for long - distance signaling in the endocrine system), and the lymphatic system is more involved in immune function and fluid balance (not the main transport for most hormones).
