There is more than one type of hormone: autocrine hormones act on the cells that produce them. Paracrine hormones act on the cells nearby and get to them by diffusing through the fluid that bathes the cells. The most common hormone class is the endocrine hormones- these are secreted from cells and move into the nearby capillaries which carry blood. Once they are in the blood they can reach almost every tissue in the body just by flowing through the blood vessels.
