Solution

The characteristics of circulating hormones are:

  1. Hormones may affect distinct aspects of a target cell physiology.
  2. Cells that react to a hormone have specific receptors for that hormone.
  3. Hormones are secreted into the interstitial fluid and then enter the bloodstream.

The statement "Hormones are released from exocrine glandular cells" is not correct. Hormones are typically released from endocrine glands, not exocrine glands. Exocrine glands release their secretions through ducts, while endocrine glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream.
