There are certain receptors for some specific hormones on the cell membranes of the target cells of the hormone. They are activated by the hormone and combine with it to form a complex that undergoes a series of receptor mediated reactiions to perform the particular function inside the cell. Some hormones pass through the cell membrane and interact with the receptors present on the membrane of cell organelles. Some hormones like thyroxine interact directly with the nucleus and trigger metabolic enzyme synthesis for increasing BMR

What type of tissue is specialized to respond to environmental changes?
Nervous tissue would be the most responsive. For example, the eyes respond to changing light intensity, blood flow, hair orientation and lung bronchioles all respond to changing temperature. The skin (melanocytes) also respond to UV radiation over time.
What is the male hormone that stimulates tissue building?
testosterone
What cells respond to injury by dividing to assist in connective tissue repair?
Mesenchymal Stem Cells respond to injury by diving to assist in connective tissue repair.
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.
The hormone insulin promotes what?
promotes the entry of glucose and amino acids into tissue cells
What hormone is released from adipose tissue?
Leptin is a hormone released by adipose tissue.
What hormone is referred to as the tissue hormone?
Prostaglandins are the group of hormones referred to as tissue hormones.
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 is the destination for a hormone?
Target tissue
Which one is the main primary target tissue of Parathyroid hormone the kidney or bones?
The main primary target tissue of the Parathyroid hormone is the bone, but the kidneys are a target as well.
What type of tissue is specialized to respond to environmental changes?
Nervous tissue would be the most responsive. For example, the eyes respond to changing light intensity, blood flow, hair orientation and lung bronchioles all respond to changing temperature. The skin (melanocytes) also respond to UV radiation over time.
What hormone dissolves bone tissue?
estrogen
The hormone related to the lack of calcium of bone tissue is called?
That hormone is vitamin D.
What hormone works with the parathyroid hormone to regulate calcium levels in the blood tissue?
Calcitonin
What hormone is secreted into the bloodstream by fatty tissue?
leptin
What is the male hormone that stimulates tissue building?
testosterone
What tissue responsible for male Hormone production?
the testes
