Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemicals released by the hypothalamus, gonads, and adrenal cortex are hormones, which are transported through the bloodstream to target organs and tissues. Synapses and neurotransmitters are involved in the communication between neurons, but not necessarily in the hormonal regulation of the body. Inhibitory communicators are not a recognized term in the context of endocrine system function.
