Mechanisms of Hormone Action

Description
Water-soluble hormones bind to receptors on the exterior surface of the target cell.

How a target cell responds to a hormone is based on:

The hormone’s concentration in the blood
The number of hormone receptors on the target cell
Influences exerted by other hormones
Some hormones work more effectively when a second hormone is present to assist them (synergistic effect).
Some hormones oppose the action of others (antagonistic effect).
