The cells of the endocrine glands which secrete hormones. The pathways involved with the transport of hormones to their target cells (via cv system) Serve as the molecular links to connect organ systems and biological fluids in the human body. Essential to allow body to response to external stimuli. Required at all stages of development- hormone levels change within the individual. Regulate the production, storage and utilization of energy. They tie the whole body together o classical definition of a hormone. Molecule produced by a gland and secreted in small amounts into the blood stream transported to distant organs to exert specific effects.
