Explanation:

• Hormones are chemical messengers in the endocrine system. Electrochemical messages to neurons are related to neural communication (not hormones). Neural impulses through the synaptic gap are part of neuron - to - neuron communication (neurotransmitters, not hormones). Hormones are released into the bloodstream and travel to target cells to regulate various bodily functions like metabolism, growth (e.g., growth hormone), reproduction, etc. So the primary purpose of hormones is to regulate bodily functioning and growth.
