Primarily, the Liver- glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis, releasing additional glucose into the bloodstream.

Adipose tissue- fatty acids are metabolized for energy when there is a shortage of glucose to burn.

What is the target tissue in ovaries and the testes?

Are you asking, what is the target tissue for the hormones produced by the testes and ovaries? In that case, it would be estrogen and testosterone. Estrogen leads to secondary sex characteristics in girls during puberty, and testosterone does the same for boys. However, testosterone also increases muscle growth, which is why men are mostly stronger than women. While women also have testosterone production in there bodies, it is small in comparison to estrogen. With boys, they also have estrogen production, but it is usually less that testosterone. The caveat here is, fat also produces estrogen, so in very skinny girls, they can have a deficiency of estrogen, and this can lead to missed periods or late development.


Are ductless and discharge their hormones into the tissue fluid to be absorbed by the capillaries in the body?

No, ductless glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream for transportation to target organs or tissues. These hormones are not absorbed by capillaries in the tissue fluid, but instead circulate in the blood until they reach their target cells.


Is adipose tissue vascularized?

Yes, adipose tissue is highly vascularized. It contains a network of blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the fat cells, as well as help in the removal of waste products. The blood vessels in adipose tissue also play a role in regulating metabolic processes and temperature control.


Four types of human tissue?

The four main types of human tissue are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities. Connective tissue supports and connects various body parts. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement, while nervous tissue transmits and processes information in the body.


What are target tissues?

when the chemicals arrive in the right places, the target tissues, they start to do their work. a group of cells that have receptors embedded in the plasma membrane that are complementary in shape to specific hormone molecules. Only these cells will respond to that specific hormone.

What makes one tissue a target tissue and another not a target tissue for a hormone?

A tissue becomes a target tissue when it is affected or stimulated by a specific amino acid. The target tissue has the appropriate receptors to make it susceptible to the hormone.


What makes a tissue a target tissue?

A tissue is considered a target tissue when it has specific receptors for a particular hormone or chemical signal. These receptors allow the tissue to respond to the signal by initiating specific biological responses. Target tissues are often the primary sites where the hormone or signal exerts its effects in the body.

What is the target tissue that is affected by the somatic tissue?

The target tissue affected by somatic mutations is the body's non-reproductive cells, including those in organs, muscles, and connective tissue. These mutations are not passed on to offspring as they do not affect germ cells.

What are the names of long acting insulins?

Long-acting insulins include insulin glargine (Lantus, Toujeo), insulin detemir (Levemir), and insulin degludec (Tresiba). These insulins provide a steady release of insulin over an extended period, helping to manage blood glucose levels throughout the day and night. They are commonly used in the treatment of diabetes to maintain basal insulin levels.
