Where are your hormones in your body?
Hormones are produced by the body's endocrine system. The endocrine system is made up of several organs and many glands:Adrenal glandsHypothalamusKidneysLiverOvariesPancreasParathyroidPineal glandPituitary glandPlacentaSkinSmall intestineStomachTestesThymusThyroid glandAll of these play a part in the production, storage, and release of hormones.
Where would you not find cholinergeric nicotinic receptor?
all parasympathetic target organs
What hormone can be found both on man and women?
All hormones except those that interact with the reproducive organs (and I think some of them could be found in both sexes too). Important hormones are e.g. cortisol and insulin.
What are three target organs of the parathyroid hormone?
bones, kidneys, small intestines(The major target end organs for parathyroid hormone (PTH) action are the kidneys, skeletal system, and intestine.)
What do all hormones have in common?
All hormones are blood-borne.All hormones are "chemical messengers."
Explain what the hormones testosterone estrogen and progesterone do?
Testosterones, estrogen, progesterone, all tell, or control your sex organs, and puberty.
What is the name of the hormones that target other endocrine glands to stimulate their growth and secretion?
The names of the hormones that target other endocrine glands stimulate their secretions are tropic hormones. Most, if not all, tropic hormones come from the hypothalamus or anterior pituitary gland.

If hormones travel in the bloodstream why don't all tissues respond to all hormones?
The tissue/cells need a receptor that can interact with that hormone in order to respond to it. This receptor may be on a cell membrane, inside the cell, or even inside the nucleus (in the case of steroid hormones, for example.) Like many organic chemicals in the body, they have structures which result in certain parts of the molecule being presented to cells (active sites). Because cells and tissue have different structures as well, only certain cells will react to the presence of a particular hormone. Many hormones have antagonist hormones that cause an opposite effect. This helps control negative feedback when the target organ's hormone levels are too high.

What are target cells.?
In your body, you have certain cells that can receive and process hormones released by your pituitary gland, hypothalamus and other endocrine glands. However, not all cells can receive all hormones. Target cells are cells that have receptors on them for a specific hormone. So a target cell may have a receptor for GH hormone, thus allowing GH to be absorbed by only the target cells with GH receptors.
Do Major hormones circulate to virtually all tissues?
Yes, all hormones are released into the blood stream and then circulate to all tissues; only those target tissues that are designed to react to specific hormones will react to the presence of the hormone. Hormones are chemical messengers that are released into the blood stream, designed to cause changes in only certain tissues.

All hormones except those that interact with the reproducive organs (and I think some of them could be found in both sexes too). Important hormones are e.g. cortisol and insulin.
