A) hormones.
B) organelles.
C) enzymes.

Answer 1

Such chemical messengers are known as hormones.

Explanation:

• Hormones are majorly responsible for stimulating the blood cells that carry the stimulus further to the intended organs.

• The blood cells promptly respond to the secreted hormones as they have receptors that are designed to receive the message (or the stimulant) from them.

• There are three major types of the functioning of hormones known as endocrine action, paracrine action, and autocrine action.

• The endocrine action is responsible for the distribution of hormones to distant cells.

• Paracrine action refers to the distribution of hormones to the cells in the neighborhood of the gland.

• Autocrine action is responsible for distribution of hormones among the cells within the gland.
