Q
  1. Each Hormone is produced in a specific Endocrine gland
  2. Hormones are released into blood circulation and carried to site of action as FREE hormone or bound to transport protein
  3. Each hormone acts at a specific site (target organs) to induce certain characteristics, biochemical changes
