Answer 1

Hormones are chemical messengers that originate from the endocrine system and travel through the bloodstream to affect target cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

These hormones act slowly compared to the rapid transmission of electrical messages by the nervous system. Endocrine hormones travel throughout the body and can affect many cells, resulting in body-wide effects.
