,Hormones (1) generally utilize negative feedback mechanisms to regulate their secretion; (2) will only
affect target cells far removed from the hormone-producing secretory cells; (3) must bind to transport
proteins in order to circulate in the blood; (4) may be released in low concentrations but can produce
large effects in the target cells; (5) can affect the responsiveness of the target tissue by controlling the
number of receptor sites for the hormone. - Answer:
