How can a hormone that is present in very small quantities within the bloodstream elicit such a large response within a cell?
The message from the hormone is amplified many times within the cell
Why target cell respond to the hormone while others are uneffected?
Target cells respond to hormones because they have specific receptors for the hormone on their cell membrane or inside the cell. These receptors enable the hormone to bind and initiate a cellular response. Other cells that do not have the specific receptors for that hormone are unaffected because they cannot bind to the hormone or activate the necessary signaling pathways.
What are two ways in which the chemical message of a hormone is converted into a cell response inside the cell?
The chemical message is converted via the second messenger system
Does caffeine has the effect of stimulating the cardiovascular response?
Yes. Caffeine has the same effect has epinephrine. The stress hormone stimulates the production of cyclic APM within cells, which is the cellular messenger signaling the cell what to do in response to the hormone. Caffeine has the same effect by inhibiting the breakdown of cAPM, hence causing it to be around longer and therefore influencing what the cell is to do longer.
What recognizes a hormone's chemical structure?
A target cell is a cell in the body that recognizes a hormone's chemical structure. It is a cell to which a hormone binds chemically.
Can a pathogen provoke a cell mediated response and an antibody mediated response?
no
A given pathogen will provoke either a cell-mediated response or an antibody-mediated response but not both?
true

Can an antigen provoke an immune response?
Yes, it's basically the only thing that does.
What anterior pituitary hormone is essential for the stress response?
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
What is I.G.H?
I.G.H. stands for Insulin-like Growth Factor, a hormone that plays a role in cell growth and development in the body. It is similar in structure to insulin and is produced mainly by the liver in response to stimulation by growth hormone.
