Principal Functions
Hormones travel through the general blood circulation to specific sites called target tissues or (1.) Effectors , where they produce a coordinated response of the target tissues. Thus, the term endocrine (en′dō-krin), derived from the Greek words (2). _________________, meaning within, and (3) ____________, to secrete, appropriately describes this system.
Endocrine glands are not to be confused with exocrine glands. Exocrine glands have (4.) _____________ that carry their secretions to the outside of the body, or into a hollow organ, such as the stomach or intestines. Examples of exocrine secretions are saliva, sweat, breast milk, and digestive enzymes.
The study of the endocrine system, known as 5. _____________________.
