What else can I help you with?
Are hormones target molecules or signal molecules?
Hormones affect target cells because target cells have receptors that bind with certain hormones (they're specific). If a cell does not have a receptor then it is not affected by hormones. Target cells (which do have the receptor for a particular hormone) would be affected by the hormone.
What does the organs influenced by hormones are called?
They are the target organs. Hormones act on the target organs
Hormones can do all of the following to a target cell except make the cell?
Hormones can influence target cells by altering their function, stimulating growth, and triggering cellular responses. However, hormones do not create or form the cells themselves; that process is governed by cellular division and differentiation. Instead, hormones act as signaling molecules that regulate existing cellular activities.
Target cells are equipped with specific receptor molecules?
Yes, target cells possess specific receptor molecules on their surface that bind to signaling molecules such as hormones or neurotransmitters. This interaction triggers a cellular response or change in function within the target cell, influencing various physiological processes within the body.
Hormones affect specific tissues called?
Hormones affect specific tissues called target tissues or target cells. These tissues have receptors that bind to hormones, triggering a response or change in cellular activity.
What name is given to regions that are receptive to hormones?
Target tissues or target cells are regions that are receptive to hormones. These tissues have specific receptors that bind with the hormones and trigger a response within the cell.
What is the specific cells in the body to which hormones convey information?
Hormones convey information to target cells in the body. These cells have specific receptors that can bind to the hormone molecules, triggering a response or a change in cellular activity. Target cells are typically found in tissues or organs that are affected by the hormone.
Where do hormone go?
hormones go to there target cells or target organs
Are target tissues close to the glands that affect them?
most endocrine hormones are circulating hormones not local hormones.
What is the method that tropic and nontropic hormones produce response?
Tropic hormones act by stimulating the release of other hormones from target glands, which in turn produce a physiological response. Nontropic hormones directly bind to receptors on their target cells to initiate a cellular response without involving other hormones.
Steroid hormones cannot pass through the plasma membranes of their target cells?
False. Steroid hormones are lipophilic molecules that can pass through the plasma membrane of target cells. Once inside the cell, they bind to specific receptors located in the cytoplasm or nucleus, leading to changes in gene expression and cellular responses.
Where do glands send messages to target cells?
Glands send messages in the form of hormones to target cells through the bloodstream. Hormones are released by glands into the blood where they travel to target cells throughout the body to elicit a specific response. Target cells have specific receptors that recognize and respond to the hormones.
