To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option:
A. It secretes chemical messengers that travel through the blood to signal changes at target cells.
B. It binds chemical messengers that travel through the blood from target cells.
C. It releases electrical impulses that travel through body cells to signal changes at target cells.
D. It converts chemical messages into electrical impulses to signal changes at target cells.
The endocrine system is a collection of glands that produce and secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. These hormones act as chemical messengers that travel through the blood to reach target cells in various parts of the body.
Option A accurately describes the function of the endocrine system, as it states that the endocrine glands secrete chemical messengers (hormones) that travel through the bloodstream to signal changes at target cells. These changes can influence various physiological processes in the body.
Therefore, your answer of A is correct.
