Which hormone affect only certain cells?
Because they only activate target cells that have special receptors that only work when that specific hormone attaches to it.
Cells of different tissues and organs respond to the same hormone if they have the same kind of molecules?
receptor
Which substances are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals?
Receptor molecules are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals.
Muscle cells gland cells and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called?
effectors
Body cells that react to particular hormone are called?
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.
Why does hormone act only on specific cell types in a organism and not others?
Hormones can only be detected by cells that have the specific receptor which binds to the hormone. This means that the hormone only acts on the cells with its receptor and the other cells do not respond.
Which hormone affect only certain cells?
Because they only activate target cells that have special receptors that only work when that specific hormone attaches to it.
T-helper cells release hormone-like substances called?
the t-cells release hormone-like substance called
Cells of different tissues and organs respond to the same hormone if they have the same kind of molecules?
receptor
What do cells in the thyroid gland respond to?
Thyroid stimulating hormone, released from the anterior pituitary gland.
What hormone would expect the body to produce if you did not have enough calcium in your diet?
Your body's hormonal system (the endocrine system) is not programmed to respond to a lack of calcium in the diet. If it did have an opportunity to respond to low levels of calcium it might secrete more calcitonin, the hormone that helps build bone by decreasing blood calcium levels and encouraging the bone-building cells called osteoblasts to produce mature bone cells called osteocytes.
What are bone cells that respond to the parathyroid hormone to destroy bone matrix and release calcium into the blood?
An osteoclast.
Which substances are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals?
Receptor molecules are found on cell surfaces and respond to nerve and hormone signals.
What cell and what hormone come from the testes?
The male gametes called sperm cells and the hormone is testosterone.
What are structures that have receptors for a particular hormone called?
target cells
Is a thyroid hormone a cell?
A hormone is a chemical, not a cell. They thyroid gland that secretes the thyroid hormone (which is called thyroxin) is composed of cells.
