hormones

Cards (3)

  • Chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream, target specific cells, and have different effects on the body
    • Target cells respond to specific hormones because they have receptors for that hormone – cells that do not have these receptors cannot be affected by the hormone.​
    • When enough receptor sites are stimulated by the hormone, a physiological reaction will happen in the target cell (times by all the target cells).​
