Why do hormones cause changes only in specific body organ?
Justin24bieber
Because most hormones are very specific and are secreted for certain processes. However not all of them are so specific as far as organ function, take GH or the growth hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary), this hormone is involved with growth of bone and muscle all over your body. Also, even if hormones are specific to what they cause, those causes all trigger and affect other things within our bodies.

∙ 15y agoIn order for a hormone to produce an intended effect within any particular cell or tissue there must also be a receptor for that hormone embedded within the plasma membrane of the target cell. While hormones may circulate throughout the body the desired effect only occurs when a receptor for the hormone is present.

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 are chemical messengers that allow an organ to send signals to another distant organ in the body through the blood?
There are many hormones that travel this way. Thyroid, sex hormone and ACTH are a few.

No. The phrase "organ specific hazard" describes what a chemical does to a specific organ of the body. Thus ethanol consumed in large amounts over a long time is known to cause cirrhosis of the liver, so one organ specific hazard of ethanol is liver cirrhosis.
