Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autocrine regulators are synthesized and secreted by the same cell that is affected by them. Therefore, they mediate the function of the cells in which they are synthesized. Endocrine regulators are synthesized and secreted by specialized endocrine glands and travel through the bloodstream to affect distant target cells. Paracrine regulators are secreted by one cell and affect nearby cells. Exocrine regulators are secreted into ducts that lead to body surfaces or cavities and are not involved in mediating cellular function.
