target cells
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.
Because they only activate target cells that have special receptors that only work when that specific hormone attaches to it.
The target receptor proteins of cells will cause them to affected by a specific protein. These cells are also called "target" cells. Hormones flow via the bloodstream throughout the entire body, but they only affect their specific "target" cells.
This statement is true, it's called up regulation.

Hormones are transported to target cells, which are cells in another part of the body where the hormone will have an effect.

In your body, you have certain cells that can receive and process hormones released by your pituitary gland, hypothalamus and other endocrine glands. However, not all cells can receive all hormones. Target cells are cells that have receptors on them for a specific hormone. So a target cell may have a receptor for GH hormone, thus allowing GH to be absorbed by only the target cells with GH receptors.

The relationship between a hormone and a target cell is that hormones are chemicals released in one part of the body that travel through the bloodstream and affect the activity of cells in the body. Hormones do this by binding to specific chemical receptors on those cells. Target cells have receptors for a particular hormone. Which means is cells do not have receptors or the receptors do not respond to a particular hormone, the hormone has no affect on it.
A target cell is a cell in the body that recognizes a hormone's chemical structure. It is a cell to which a hormone binds chemically.
