what are target cells
|
the specific cells or organs a hormone is meant to affect. each hormone must have a receptor protein present on a cell's plasma membrane in order to work.
|
|
what are hormones?
|
chemical substances, secreted by cells into extracellular fluids, that regulate the metabolic activity of other cells of the body
|
|
second messenger system
|
non-steroidal hormones bind to receptors on plasma membrane. reactions go off inside cell activating an enzyme; enzyme sets off reactions to create a second messenger.
