How does the endocrine system/glands talk with the cells/ organs in the body?

The endocrine system is made up of a network of glands that make hormones. They are located throughout the body. Hormones are the body's chemical messengers. They carry information and instructions from one set of cells to another. The endocrine system is a system of glands that secrete hormones into the blood stream to regulate a variety of bodily functions. These are delivered to receptors in the target cells/organs. The endocrine system is responsible for regulating multiple bodily functions to stabilise the body's internal and external environment.
