Explanation:

Hormones are chemical proteinous substances secreted in one location and transported to another location, in order to bring about a physiological effect. Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands which collectively makes up the endocrine system. Endocrine glands include testes, ovary, pancreas, thyroid, adrenal gland etc. A hormone is usually secreted when a change needs to be effected in a target cell.

What happens is that, when a particular physiological effect is needed by a target cell e. g growth, development, homeostasis, repair etc., it sends a negative feedback to the gland that is responsible for the secretion of the specific hormone. The particular endocrine gland, then, secretes the hormone into the bloodstream (ductless), which carries it for absorption by the target cell where it is needed.
