Hormones typically bind to specific protein receptors located on the surface of target cells. These receptors are responsible for initiating a signaling pathway within the cell in response to the hormone binding, leading to specific cellular responses.
Protein hormones are released into the bloodstream by endocrine glands and travel through the blood to reach their target cells. These hormones bind to specific receptor proteins on the surface of target cells, triggering a cellular response. The binding of the hormone to the receptor initiates a signaling cascade inside the cell, ultimately leading to the desired physiological effect.
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.
Hormones affect specific tissues called target tissues or target cells. These tissues have receptors that bind to hormones, triggering a response or change in cellular activity.
Tropic hormones act by stimulating the release of other hormones from target glands, which in turn produce a physiological response. Nontropic hormones directly bind to receptors on their target cells to initiate a cellular response without involving other hormones.
The traditional approach is that human and animal hormones are produced in endocrine glands, which release them directly into blood, and the bloodstream carries them to their target cells. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be blood, it can be tissue fluid as well. (And not all organisms that have hormones have blood either. In plants for example, hormones can migrate to other cells from the site of production through the plasmodesmata that connect neighboring cells.)
Hormones bind to specific protein receptors on the surface or inside target cells. These receptors are typically found on the cell membrane or in the cytoplasm. Once the hormone binds to its receptor, it triggers a signaling cascade that leads to specific cellular responses.

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.

Hormones convey information to target cells in the body. These cells have specific receptors that can bind to the hormone molecules, triggering a response or a change in cellular activity. Target cells are typically found in tissues or organs that are affected by the hormone.
Target cells have specific receptors that recognize and bind to the hormone, triggering a response. Non-target cells either lack the necessary receptors or have receptors that do not bind the hormone, so they do not respond to it. This specificity allows hormones to selectively regulate the functions of specific tissues or organs in the body.

Steroid hormones enter target cells and bind to intracellular receptors, forming hormone-receptor complexes that activate gene transcription. This leads to changes in protein synthesis and cell function. Amine type hormones, such as epinephrine, bind to cell surface receptors, activating second messenger systems like cAMP or calcium, which mediate rapid cellular responses.
Target cells have specific receptors on their surface that can bind to hormones. These receptors are typically highly specific, allowing the hormone to deliver its message only to cells that have the appropriate receptor. Once the hormone binds to the receptor, it triggers a series of intracellular events that ultimately lead to the desired cellular response.
Yes, target cells possess specific receptor molecules on their surface that bind to signaling molecules such as hormones or neurotransmitters. This interaction triggers a cellular response or change in function within the target cell, influencing various physiological processes within the body.
