Answer

The hormone is carried to its target organ mainly by the circulatory system.

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

  1. Hormones are released by endocrine glands directly into the bloodstream.

  2. The bloodstream acts as a transport system, circulating the hormones throughout the body.

  3. Hormones travel until they reach specific cells or organs that have receptors designed to bind with them.

    These are the target organs.

  4. Binding to the receptors triggers a specific response in the target organ.
