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.
What do endocrine cells secrete?
There are many hormones secreted by the endocrine system. The hypothalamus secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones that affect the production and release of hormones from other glands, mainly the pituitary gland. Here is a partial list.Growth hormoneLutiening hormoneProlactinAdrenocorticotopic hormoneAndidiuretic hormoneOxytocinThyroxineTriiodothyronineFollicle stimulating hormoneMelatoninThymosinThymopoetin
What hormones affect the secretion of other endocrine glands?
Pituitary gland
Do all hormones need to enter bloodstream to be able to effect a cell?
Yes when they are from distant glands, for example when ADH (synthsised in the posterior pituitary gland) must travel to the kidney. However, some hormones are made on-site, so do not use the bloodstream to travel to their target organ(s)/cell(s).
What cells are affected in the membranes after hormone bloodstream?
Hormones in the bloodstream primarily affect target cells that possess specific receptors for those hormones. When a hormone binds to its receptor on the target cell membrane, it triggers a series of intracellular responses, leading to changes in cell function. This interaction can influence various processes such as metabolism, growth, and regulation of other hormones. Cells throughout the body, including those in organs like the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue, can be affected depending on the hormone's role and the presence of appropriate receptors.
What type of cells are hormones?
Hormones are not cells but chemicals released by cells to affect changes in other cells.

Chemicals that travel through the bloodstream and affect the activities of other cells?
Hormones
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.
Why are hormones able to affect only certain cells and not other cells?
Because they only activate target cells that have special receptors that only work when that specific hormone attaches to it.
Chemical substances secreted by cells into the extracellular fluids that regulate the metabolic function of other cells in the body are called?
hormones
How do hormones affect the activities of other cells?
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid by one cell that affect the functioning of other cells. In very basic terms, binding of hormone to receptor triggers a cascade of reactions within the cell that affects function. I Have Placed A Likn In My Bio That You Can Check Out!!

What is the method that tropic and nontropic hormones produce response?
Tropic hormones act by stimulating the release of other hormones from target glands, which in turn produce a physiological response. Nontropic hormones directly bind to receptors on their target cells to initiate a cellular response without involving other hormones.
Why do birth control have hormones?
Birth control pills have hormones because hormones are the chemicals that affect ovulation and other aspects of fertility in the female body.
