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.
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-
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.
Steroid hormones exert their action by?
steroid hormones can pass easily through the plasma membrane, the hormones then bind to intracellular receptors which induce a metabolic pathway which later promotes transcription of a specific gene.
What is the definition of a target cell and why are all cells not considered target cells for all hormones?
A target cell is a specific cell that has receptors for a particular hormone, allowing it to respond to that hormone's signals. Not all cells are considered target cells for all hormones because each hormone is designed to interact with specific receptors on specific cells, leading to specific responses in the body. This specificity ensures that hormones only affect the cells that are meant to respond to them, maintaining the body's balance and regulation.

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 protein hormones and steroid hormones and how they communicate with their target cells?
Steroid hormones arelipid-soluble and can dissolve easily into the cell membrane of the target cell to connect with receptors. Protein hormones are water-soluble and connect with receptors at the membrane because it can't diffuse through the membrane.
Steroid hormones cannot pass through the plasma membranes of their target cells?
False. Steroid hormones are lipophilic molecules that can pass through the plasma membrane of target cells. Once inside the cell, they bind to specific receptors located in the cytoplasm or nucleus, leading to changes in gene expression and cellular responses.
What is the difference between receptors for steroid hormones and Peptide hormone?
Peptide based hormones exert their effects on a cell by way of second messengers (cAMP or PIP) pathways. Steroid based hormones exert their effects on a target cell via direct gene activation.
What does steroid and thyroid hormones do upon entering the blood?
Steroid hormones bind to specific receptors within the target cells to regulate gene expression and control various physiological functions. Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism by influencing the activity of enzymes and affecting the consumption of oxygen by cells.
How do non steroid hormones control their target cells?
They: Bind to cell membrane receptors Use cAMP as a second messenger and they cause a cascade amplification reaction
Where is the receptor for cortisol found?
Receptors of protein hormones are present in plasma membrane but for steroid hormones no membrane receptors are needed as they can enter cell membrane , mobile receptors pic steroid hormones from cell membrane and carry them to nucleus .

What does the organs influenced by hormones are called?
They are the target organs. Hormones act on the target organs
