Circulating hormones emanate from the endocrine ( or ductless ) glands. These glands, embedded deep within our bodies, pour their secretions of functional substances (hormones) out of their locale into capillaries that return them - via the general circulation - to the heart and onward to their destination.
Most of these are : pineal gland, the hypophysis, thyroid and parathyroid glands, pancreatic islets and the suprarenal glands (adrenal) , and there are two types of secretions from gonads as well.
most endocrine hormones are circulating hormones not local hormones.
Most endocrine hormones are circulating hormones, they pass from the secretory cells that make them into interstitial fluid and then into the blood. circulating hormones are carried through the bloodstream to act on distant target cells. Paracrines act as neighboring cells, and autocrines act on the same cells that produced them.
Paracrines are a group of local hormones that work on nearby cells. Autocrines stimulate the same cell and circulating hormones can travel long distances to stimulate cells. Hormones only stimulate cells that have their specific receptor.
Because there are high levels of hormones circulating in the women's body.
Local hormones become active without first entering the bloodstream. They act locally on the same cell that secreted them or on neighboring cells.Circulating hormones enter the bloodstream to be transported to their target cells.
While the nervous system controls the pumping of the heart as well as neurotransmitters and hormones that control vasodilation and vasocontraction, the circulatory system is primarily responsible for circulating blood throughout the body.
Thyroid levels are measurements of the thyroid hormones in your body. Low TSH suggests you have too much thyroid hormone circulating. High TSH suggests you don't have enough thyroid hormone circulating.
From puberty onward, guys dream about girls because of the sexual hormones circulating in the body. These dreams are perfectly natural and healthy.

Insufficient levels (low levels) of circulating thyroid hormones is the biochemical hallmark of an under-active thyroid, a condition referred to as hypothyroidism.
Pregnancy has no bad effects on health although you may feel tired and nauseous. This does not mean you are ill, just that you have lots of circulating hormones and your body is adjusting to them.
plasma contains numerous protein, minerals, and other substances..... ^_^ hope this helps...
