Best Answer

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.
