What else can I help you with?
How is hormone specificity achieved?
each hormone receptor only binds to one hormone
When a hormone opposes the action of another hormone it is called?
an antagonistic hormone
What hormone has a paracrine and autocrine action and also is a circulating hormone?
Growth hormone
When a hormone opposing the action of another hormone it is called?
antagonistic effect
Why do hormones stimulate specific cells?
Hormones stimulate specific cells because they bind to specific receptors that are uniquely present on those target cells. This receptor-hormone interaction triggers a series of cellular responses, leading to the desired physiological effect. The specificity of hormone action ensures that only the appropriate cells respond to the hormone, allowing for precise regulation of various bodily functions. Additionally, the distribution of hormone receptors throughout the body dictates which cells will be affected by a particular hormone.
Which hormone is secreted in the pancreas and oppose the action of insulin?
The hormone secreted in the pancreas that opposes the action of insulin is glucagon. Thanks
What molecules determine the tissue specificity of hormones?
The tissue specificity of hormones is determined by the presence of specific hormone receptors on the surface of target cells. These receptors are proteins that can only bind to specific hormones, allowing for a precise response in a particular tissue. The binding of a hormone to its receptor triggers a specific signaling pathway that leads to the cellular response.
A major determinant of a hormone’s mechanism of action is?
whether the hormone is water soluble or lipid soluble
What is the definition of 'drug specificity'?
Drug specificty is the degree to which the effects of a drug are due to the one pharmacological action.
What is the action of a hormone directed at?
It's target cells
What determines what cell a hormone will effect?
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.
What hormone action is used by neurotransmitters and olfactory receptors?
cAMP
