Hormones only work once they "fit" a part of the body. That is, if cells within the target tissue have receptors that receive the hormone's message. consider hormones as keys and the cells of target tissues such as organs and adipose tissue as specially designed keys. If a hormone fits into a cell membrane lock (receptor), it works. Hormones deliver messages to focus on sites to trigger specific actions.
