Hormone – a chemical messenger released into the bloodstream by endocrine glands. Hormones affect a wide range of physiological processes. In general, Hormones travel further distances, have a broader range of target cells, and act over longer periods of time than most Neurotransmitters, although there are some substances that function as both Hormones and Neurotransmitters (e.g., Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, , and Oxytocin).
