What else can I help you with?
Body cells that react to particular hormone are called?
target cells
What happens when the body cannot differentiate between pathogens and body cells?
The immune system will target the body's own cells
Why drug target?
Drug target when our body or cells are unable to provide its particular function.
What is the meaning of the name 'Fontilla'?
it has something to do with the body cells, mainly hair cells.
What carries out special jobs in your body?
mainly your cells
Where do glands send messages to target cells?
Glands send messages in the form of hormones to target cells through the bloodstream. Hormones are released by glands into the blood where they travel to target cells throughout the body to elicit a specific response. Target cells have specific receptors that recognize and respond to the hormones.
What is the specific cells in the body to which hormones convey information?
Hormones convey information to target cells in the body. These cells have specific receptors that can bind to the hormone molecules, triggering a response or a change in cellular activity. Target cells are typically found in tissues or organs that are affected by the hormone.
What are hormones transported to?
Hormones are transported to target cells, which are cells in another part of the body where the hormone will have an effect.
What are the cells that respond to the effects of a hormone called?
Target cells are the cells that have specific receptors for a hormone and are responsive to its effects. These cells can be located throughout the body and are capable of producing a physiological response once the hormone binds to its receptor.
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.
Target cells are equipped with specific receptor molecules?
Yes, target cells possess specific receptor molecules on their surface that bind to signaling molecules such as hormones or neurotransmitters. This interaction triggers a cellular response or change in function within the target cell, influencing various physiological processes within the body.
What are target cells.?
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.
