Body cells that react to particular hormone are called?
target cells
What are the cells that respond to the effects of a hormone called?
Target Cells
Where do hormone go?
hormones go to there target cells or target organs
Target cells for a given hormone have the correct?
receptors
What is the action of a hormone directed at?
It's target cells
Why do only target cells respond to the hormone while the others are unaffected?
Only target cells respond to hormones because they have a receptor for the hormone. They are the key that fits the lock.
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 are structures that have receptors for a particular hormone called?
target cells
Which hormone has more target cells in the body than any of the others?
growth hormone GH
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.
What are target cells for releasing hormones in?
in the hypothalamus is what my book says:) .............from what I have read the releasing hormones originate in the hypothalamus, but the target cells are found in the anterior pituitary gland.
Hormones act at specific target organs because these organs contain what specific for the hormone?
