How Do The Hormones Travel Through The Body?

The Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The hormones dissolve in plasma and travel the circulatory pathways through various body tissues. So why do hormones affect only their target cells in particular tissues? Because only those target cells have receptors for that particular hormone. Some hormones bind to receptors on the surface of target cells. Others enter the cells and bind to receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus. The binding triggers a series of actions that change the physiologic behavior of the cell. In this way hormones can adjust the functions of whole organs and regulate total body processes such as metabolism and growth.

Water VS. Fat Soluble:
Most water-soluble hormones, like the amino acid derivatives and peptides, can travel freely in the blood because they "like" water. However, they are repelled by lipid or fatty structures such as the membranes that surround the cell and nucleus. Because of this, these hormones generally bind to receptor sites on the outside of the cell and signal from there.

Fat-soluble hormones, like the sex hormone steroids estrogens and androgens, are fat soluble and water repellent. That is, they "like" lipid or fatty structures such as those surrounding cells but are generally repelled by watery areas. Steroids generally travel to their target cells attached to a special carrier protein that "likes" water (such as, sex steroid hormone binding globulin and serum albumin). The hormones detach before passing into the cell where they bind to receptors.
