The delivery of hormones to the target cell receptors.
Introduction:
The hormones are the chemical messengers or the signals that travel via the circulatory systems in case of animals and via the vascular system in case of plants. These are member of a class of signaling molecules, which are released by the glands present in the multicellular organisms, which are transmitted by the circulatory system in order to target the organs to stimulate the behavior and physiology.
