Answer 1

Secretory cells affect all neighboring cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The secretory cells affect only the cells that contain the receptor for the hormone they release, that is why it does not matter if the cell is contiguous, adjacent or distant, the target cell will only be affected by the hormone regardless of the proximity because it has a specific receptor.
