explain why hormones in the bloodstream are able only to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs?

Hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells/organs and not other cells/organs because of selective permeability. This means that hormones are only able to pass through the cell membrane of certain cells and organs, and not through the cell membrane of other cells and organs. The cell membrane of the target cells and organs are specialized to allow the hormones to pass through, while the cell membrane of other cells and organs are not specialized and are therefore impermeable to the hormones. This is due to the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. These receptor proteins can bind to the hormones and facilitate their entry into the cell. Since these receptor proteins are not present on the cell membrane of other cells and organs, the hormones are unable to bind to them and therefore unable to cross the cell membrane. In addition, hormones can be broken down by enzymes in the bloodstream, which means they can’t reach their target cells and organs if they are exposed to the enzymes. This further ensures that hormones only affect the target cells and organs, and not other cells and organs. In summary, hormones in the bloodstream are able to affect target cells and organs and not other cells and organs because of selective permeability and the presence of receptor proteins on the cell membrane of the target cells and organs. Other cells and organs do not have these specialized receptor proteins and therefore cannot be affected by the hormones.


Why are hormones able to affect only certain cells and not other cells?

Because they only activate target cells that have special receptors that only work when that specific hormone attaches to it.


Chemical substances secreted by cells into the extracellular fluids that regulate the metabolic function of other cells in the body are called?

hormones


How do hormones affect the activities of other cells?

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid by one cell that affect the functioning of other cells. In very basic terms, binding of hormone to receptor triggers a cascade of reactions within the cell that affects function. I Have Placed A Likn In My Bio That You Can Check Out!!

What is the method that tropic and nontropic hormones produce response?

Tropic hormones act by stimulating the release of other hormones from target glands, which in turn produce a physiological response. Nontropic hormones directly bind to receptors on their target cells to initiate a cellular response without involving other hormones.


What do endocrine cells secrete?

There are many hormones secreted by the endocrine system. The hypothalamus secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones that affect the production and release of hormones from other glands, mainly the pituitary gland.
