Oxytocin's target is the uterus; it helps to contract it when the female gives birth. Oxytocin also releases milk for a baby, so I would say it targets the breasts as well. One thing that I have found and am not so sure of is that it affects the brain; it enhances bonding and trust between humans. If this is for homework though, you'll make your teacher happy if you just write "Uterus and breasts".

What makes a tissue a target tissue?
A tissue is considered a target tissue when it has specific receptors for a particular hormone or chemical signal. These receptors allow the tissue to respond to the signal by initiating specific biological responses. Target tissues are often the primary sites where the hormone or signal exerts its effects in the body.
What is the target tissue that is affected by the somatic tissue?
The target tissue affected by somatic mutations is the body's non-reproductive cells, including those in organs, muscles, and connective tissue. These mutations are not passed on to offspring as they do not affect germ cells.
The specific tissue acted on by each hormone is the tissue?
The specific tissue acted on by each hormone is referred to as the target tissue or target organ. Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream to interact with specific receptors on target tissues, triggering a physiological response. The effectiveness of a hormone depends on the presence of these receptors, which can vary between different tissues in the body. This selective action allows hormones to regulate various functions, such as growth, metabolism, and reproductive processes.
What is the specific target tissue for thyroxine?
The specific target tissue for thyroxine (T4) is most cells in the body, where it regulates metabolism. Thyroxine acts on the mitochondria in these cells to increase the production of ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
The effect of auxin depends on the target tissue?
true
What makes one tissue a target tissue and another not a target tissue for a hormone?
A tissue becomes a target tissue when it is affected or stimulated by a specific amino acid. The target tissue has the appropriate receptors to make it susceptible to the hormone.

What is the destination for a hormone?
Target tissue
Which one is the main primary target tissue of Parathyroid hormone the kidney or bones?
The main primary target tissue of the Parathyroid hormone is the bone, but the kidneys are a target as well.
What tissue does glucagon target?
it targets the liver
What is the target tissue that is affected by the somatic tissue?
The target tissue affected by somatic mutations is the body's non-reproductive cells, including those in organs, muscles, and connective tissue. These mutations are not passed on to offspring as they do not affect germ cells.
Do effects of auxin's depend on the target tissue?
true
What is the primary target tissue for prolactin?
mammary gland.
