Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the definition of hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by endocrine glands (not exocrine glands) into the bloodstream to regulate various physiological processes.

Step 2: Recognize the role of hormones in maintaining homeostasis. Hormones are crucial for maintaining the body's internal balance, such as regulating blood sugar levels, body temperature, and fluid balance.

Step 3: Understand the concept of hormone interaction. Hormones often work together or influence each other to regulate complex physiological processes. For example, insulin and glucagon interact to regulate blood glucose levels.

Step 4: Evaluate the incorrect statements. Hormones are not produced by exocrine glands, they are involved in maintaining homeostasis, and they do not always function independently of other hormones.

Step 5: Identify the correct statement. Based on the explanation above, the correct statement is: 'Hormones can interact with each other to regulate physiological processes.'
