What is the difference between an endocrine cell and a target cell?

the endocrine cell has a jelly like substance and so so it drops off it in the blood vessel and so target cells make hormones in the blood vessel to bind into thereceptor on a target cell sometimes a target cell is very close or far away


How are hormones carried around the body?

Hormones are carried around the body through the bloodstream. They are produced by specialized glands and once released into the blood, they travel to target tissues where they exert their effects. Hormones bind to specific receptors on cells, triggering physiological responses.


What hormones can enter the target cell and bind to receptors in the nucleus?

Steroid hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, are able to enter the target cell and bind to receptors in the nucleus. These hormones are lipid-soluble, allowing them to pass through the cell membrane and directly interact with nuclear receptors to regulate gene transcription.


The hormones are carried by the blood of the circulatory system to the genetically conditioned?

Yes, hormones are carried by the blood of the circulatory system to specific target cells or organs that are genetically programmed to respond to them. Once at their target, hormones bind to specific receptors, triggering a cellular response or physiological change in the body. This process helps regulate numerous functions such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.


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 name is given to regions that are receptive to hormones?

Target tissues or target cells are regions that are receptive to hormones. These tissues have specific receptors that bind with the hormones and trigger a response within the cell.

How does a hormone identify its target?

Only target cells have receptors inside cytoplazm (for steroid hormones) or on cell membrane (for protein hormones) that make the hormone active.

What is the difference between direct and tropic hormones in terms of their mode of action on target organs?

Direct hormones act directly on target organs by binding to specific receptors on the cell surface, triggering a response within the cell. Tropic hormones, on the other hand, act indirectly by stimulating the release of other hormones from endocrine glands, which then affect the target organs.


Steroid hormones enter the bloodstream by diffusion and?

Steroid Hormones only enter the bloodstream by diffusion. If you are a student taking anatomy/phyiso 2 and refering to this question: All steroid hormones are derived from (cholesterol). Which steroid hormone is produced is determined by the (enzymes) present in the cell. The common precursor molecule for all steroid hormones is (pregnenolone). Steroid hormones enter the blood stream by (diffusion) and (do) require a carrier. The rate of secretion of steroid hormones is (slower) then catecholemines because steroid hormones are not (stored). Hope that helps-


The receptors for catecholamine and polypeptide hormones are found?
