The target cell, the receptor, and the species.
A receptor.
Target cells are equipped with specific receptor molecules and may occur in any part of the body. ACTH has target cells that are in the adrenal cortex.
Hormone receptor
Hormones are specific molecules released by endocrine glands into the bloodstream. Each hormone binds to a specific receptor protein on the surface of the target cell. The receptor protein acts like a lock and key, ensuring that only the specific hormone can bind and trigger a cellular response in the target cell.

The target receptor proteins of cells will cause them to affected by a specific protein. These cells are also called "target" cells. Hormones flow via the bloodstream throughout the entire body, but they only affect their specific "target" cells.
Receptor molecules are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals.
the target cells have receptor proteins for the signals released by the nervous system.
A type of hormone
