Answer:

hormones

Step-by-step explanation:

Hormones are chemical signals secreted by the endocrine glands. Each cell has receptors for the hormone molecule. Hormone secreted in the blood binds to its specific receptor on the cell surface. After binding to its receptors hormones transfer signal to the interior of the cell. Hormones are responsible for the transduction of cell signal. A very common example of hormone is insulin.
