Because most hormones are very specific and are secreted for certain processes. However not all of them are so specific as far as organ function, take GH or the growth hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary), this hormone is involved with growth of bone and muscle all over your body. Also, even if hormones are specific to what they cause, those causes all trigger and affect other things within our bodies.
