What Peripheral cells sensitive to the presence of hormones are called?
Target Cells
What name is given to regions that are receptive to hormones?
Target tissues or target cells are regions that are receptive to hormones. These tissues have specific receptors that bind with the hormones and trigger a response within the cell.
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.
How do the signals of the endocrine system get transmitted to their appropriate target cells?
The endocrine system is a system of glands that secrete hormones (made of proteins) into the blood stream. Once in the blood, these hormones bind to other protein called receptors in the membranes of the target cells. This is how signals are transmitted
Why do only target cells respond to the hormone while the others are unaffected?
Target cells have specific receptors that recognize and bind to the hormone, triggering a response. Non-target cells either lack the necessary receptors or have receptors that do not bind the hormone, so they do not respond to it. This specificity allows hormones to selectively regulate the functions of specific tissues or organs in the body.
What Peripheral cells sensitive to the presence of hormones are called?
Target 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.
If hormones travel in the bloodstream why don't all tissues respond to all hormones?
The tissue/cells need a receptor that can interact with that hormone in order to respond to it. This receptor may be on a cell membrane, inside the cell, or even inside the nucleus (in the case of steroid hormones, for example.) Like many organic chemicals in the body, they have structures which result in certain parts of the molecule being presented to cells (active sites). Because cells and tissue have different structures as well, only certain cells will react to the presence of a particular hormone. Many hormones have antagonist hormones that cause an opposite effect. This helps control negative feedback when the target organ's hormone levels are too high.

Where do hormone go?
hormones go to there target cells or target organs
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.
Are hormones target molecules or signal molecules?
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.
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.
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 is this called This structures is a group of cells that make hormones?
chemical signals of the endocrine system, the group of glands that, along with the nervous system, controls the body's responses to internal and external stimuli. Hormones are carried to their target cells in the bloodstream.
What name is given to regions that are receptive to hormones?
Target tissues or target cells are regions that are receptive to hormones. These tissues have specific receptors that bind with the hormones and trigger a response within the cell.
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.
