Question
Chapter 42.2, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism of a target response to different hormones and also explain the mechanism when the same hormone produces different effects in different cells.
Introduction:
Largely, hormones come into contact with effectively all cells by moving in blood. Still, a specified hormone generally influences a restricted amount of cells known as target cells. The target cell counters to a hormone because it has receptors for the hormone. A cell may be considered as a target cell for a hormone only if it contains functional receptors for that hormone.
