Are hormones transported throughout the whole body?
Yes. Hormones are transported throughout the body, via the bloodstream. They do not, however, effect every cell. Only certain cells in the body have the proper receptor sites to accomodate hormones. Therefore, even though hormones are transported right through the body, they only create a reaction for certain things.
How do circulating hormones differ from paracrines and autocrines with reference to their target cells?
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.
How do hormones reach the cells they affect?
The traditional approach is that human and animal hormones are produced in endocrine glands, which release them directly into blood, and the bloodstream carries them to their target cells. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be blood, it can be tissue fluid as well. (And not all organisms that have hormones have blood either. In plants for example, hormones can migrate to other cells from the site of production through the plasmodesmata that connect neighboring cells.)
Hormones affect specific tissues called?
Hormones affect specific tissues called target tissues or target cells. These tissues have receptors that bind to hormones, triggering a response or change in cellular activity.
How does omeprazole affect hormones in the body?
Omeprazole can affect the levels of certain hormones in the body by inhibiting the production of stomach acid. This can lead to changes in the absorption of nutrients and potentially impact hormone regulation.

What is a chemicals travel through the bloodstream and affect the activities of other cells?
I suppose that you think to oxygen.Oxygen is indispensable for life.
Chemicals that travel through the bloodstream and affect the activities of other cells?
Hormones

What hormones are able to travel through the bloodstream and affect cells throughout distant parts of the body?
Hormones such as cortisol, insulin, and adrenaline are able to travel through the bloodstream and affect cells throughout distant parts of the body. They are secreted by endocrine glands into the bloodstream and act on target cells with specific receptors, regulating various physiological processes.
Will gastric bypass affect your hormones?
Yes, gastric bypass affect your hormones such as those responsible for your body metabolism.
Why don't hormones affect all cells of the body?
Cause its hormones!
Are target tissues close to the glands that affect them?
most endocrine hormones are circulating hormones not local hormones.
What are specialized cells in the brain that are able to travel through the bloodstream and affect cells throughout distant parts of the body?
Hormones
What is the relationship between hormones and nutrition?
Hormones can affect nutrition by decreasing the appetite.
Is photosynthesis controlled by plant hormones?
No there is no affect. Direct affect is not known
What does the organs influenced by hormones are called?
They are the target organs. Hormones act on the target organs
