Question

The secretions of endocrine glands are called ____

A. Enzymes

B. Hormones

C. Granules

D. Cell fragments​

Answer 1

B.Hormones

The Endocrine system (along with the nervous system) controls and regulates the complex activities of the body. The Endocrine system regulates the activities of the body by secreting complex chemical substances (hormones) into the blood stream. These secretions come from a variety of glands which control various organs of the body. The key functions are:

To regulate the metabolic functions of the body.

To regulate the rate of chemical reactions in various cells.

To influence the ability of substances to transport themselves through cell membranes.

Hormonesare secreted from the glands of the endocrine system, they are specific in that each hormone causes a response in a specific target organ or group of cells, rather than on the body as a whole. Exocrine hormones are secreted via a duct into the blood and usually effect a distant organ or tissue. Endocrine hormones are secreted within the tissue (rather than via a duct) and enter the blood stream via capillaries.
