Question
question 20 (1 point) how are hormones produced by endocrine glands typically transported to target cells? through interstitial fluid across a synapse by the blood via direct contact through the air
Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The blood then carries these hormones to target cells throughout the body to exert their effects. Interstitial fluid is involved in local communication, synaptic transmission is for nerve - to - nerve or nerve - to - muscle communication, direct contact is for cell - to - cell communication like gap junctions, and air is not a medium for hormone transport in the body.
