Post by: kellydevenney on Mar 29, 2018
Why doesn't every cell in the body respond to every hormone circulating in the bloodstream?
  a. Each cell has a limited number of protein channels that shuttle hormones through its
  membrane.
  b. Not all hormones can diffuse through all cell membranes.
  c. The concentration of some hormones is too low to stimulate every cell.
  d. Each cell has specific surface receptors, which interact only with hormones that they
  recognize.
  e. Although all hormones bind to all cell surfaces, some cells lack second messengers for
  expression.

Question 2

The products of an endocrine gland:a.
   only affect their own tissues.
  b. can have a digestive function.
  c. always stimulate the target tissue.
  d. generally have to travel to reach the target tissue.
  e. are not produced by cells in organs, such as the heart.
