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.
Hormones are NOT able to what?
Hormones are NOT able to bake a cake.
What are the neuroendocrine organs?
Neuroendocrine organs are specialized structures that are able to produce hormones and have neural functions. Examples include the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and pineal gland. These organs play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes in the body through the release of hormones into the bloodstream.
Are able to travel through the bloodstream and affect cells throughout distant part of the body?
Yes, substances in the bloodstream like hormones, nutrients, oxygen, and medications can travel throughout the body to affect cells in distant parts. This is how the body regulates functions and delivers essential molecules to different tissues and organs.
How is ductless glands an example of structure following function?
Ductless glands, such as endocrine glands, do not have ducts to transport their secretions and instead release hormones directly into the bloodstream. This structure allows for rapid, widespread distribution of hormones throughout the body to regulate various physiological processes. By being ductless, these glands are able to perform their function efficiently and effectively.

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 hormones can enter the target cell and bind to receptors in the nucleus?
Steroid hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, are able to enter the target cell and bind to receptors in the nucleus. These hormones are lipid-soluble, allowing them to pass through the cell membrane and directly interact with nuclear receptors to regulate gene transcription.
Can glass enter the bloodstream?
not really... the piece of glass should be as small as a glucose molecule to be able to get into the blood stream! :D

explain why hormones in the bloodstream are able only to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs?
Hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs because of selective permeability. This means that hormones are only able to pass through the cell membrane of certain cells and organs, and not through the cell membrane of other cells and organs. The cell membrane of the target cells and organs are specialized to allow the hormones to pass through, while the cell membrane of other cells and organs are not specialized and are therefore impermeable to the hormones. This is due to the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. These receptor proteins can bind to the hormones and facilitate their entry into the cell. Since these receptor proteins are not present on the cell membrane of other cells and organs, the hormones are unable to bind to them and therefore unable to cross the cell membrane. In addition, hormones can be broken down by enzymes in the bloodstream, which means they can’t reach their target cells and organs if they are exposed to the enzymes. This further ensures that hormones only affect the target cells and organs, and not other cells and organs. In summary, hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells and organs and not other cells and organs because of selective permeability and the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. Other cells and organs do not have these specialized receptor proteins and therefore cannot be affected by the hormones.

What is wrong with you and your hormones?
I would need more detail about why you think something is wrong with you and your hormones to be able to answer this question.
Why does a person go through puberty?
To change from a child into a fully functional adult. You need Puberty to do this by releasing hormones into the bloodstream and body that begins the process. The sexual organs develop and the body matures allowing you to reproduce with babies. If Puberty did not happen then you would not be able to reproduce.
Why can an endocrine gland be a great distance from its target tissue organ?
It doesnt have to be a long distance away.. but hormones would be able to reach organ at a long distance since they travel through the bloodstream. And maybe being further away, would be more effiecient since endocrine glands dont secrete into 'direct' pathway.
