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 else can I help you with?
Body cells that react to particular hormone are called?
target cells
What is the difference between Target cells and non-target cells?
Target cells are cells that have specific receptors for a hormone or external signal, allowing them to respond to the signal. Non-target cells do not have receptors for the hormone or signal, so they do not respond to it. Target cells are the primary sites of action for hormones, while non-target cells are unaffected by the hormone.
What Peripheral cells sensitive to the presence of hormones are called?
Target Cells
True OR false T4 cells are the primary target of HIV?
true. they target helper t cells
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.
Which biologic therapy produced by b lymphocytes is capable of binding to target cells?
The biological therapy that is capable of binding to target cells is called Monoclonal Antibodies. This therapy produces lymphocytes and binds to target cells.
Where do hormone go?
hormones go to there target cells or target organs
What are the target cells of erythropoietin?
Erythropoietin targets cells in the bone marrow called erythroid progenitor cells. These cells differentiate and proliferate in response to erythropoietin, leading to the production of red blood cells.
Do target cells of the kidneys respond to LH?
No, target cells of the kidneys do not respond to luteinizing hormone (LH). LH primarily targets the gonads, specifically the Leydig cells in the testes and the theca cells in the ovaries.
What determines what cell a hormone will effect?
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.
What are the cells that respond to the effects of a hormone called?
Target cells are the cells that have specific receptors for a hormone and are responsive to its effects. These cells can be located throughout the body and are capable of producing a physiological response once the hormone binds to its receptor.
What is The target for erythropoietin?
It stimulates the production of red blood cells. Its target is the bone marrow
