Click on the only statement below that is true Throughout the body; there are only small number of endocrine glands and hormones_ The heart is not considered part of the endocrine system: Exocrine glands are ductless glands that release hormones into the blood The target cell for hormone must be located very close to the hormone secreting cell: A single endocrine gland only secretes one type of hormone: AIl hormones reach their target cells by traveling in the blood_ Endocrine glands secrete their products into duct; from where the secretions either exit the body (i.e._ sweat) or enter the lumen of another organ (i.e stomach) A single chemical substance can only be classified as one of the following: hormone; neurotransmitter; paracrine substance or an autocrine substance_ Chemical messengers released into the blood by axon terminals in the posterior pituitary are called neurotransmitters_
