Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hormones are recognised by their target receptors in a “lock and key” system. Each hormone (key) fits exactly into its receptor (lock). Only those parts of the body that have the receptor (lock) can respond to the hormone (key). This is why hormones affect some parts of the body, but have no effect on others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hormones, though, only bind to certain, compatible receptor types. Thyroid hormones and each steroid hormone group-the estrogens, androgens, progestins, glucocorticoids (stress hormones), and mineralocorticoids (water and ion-regulating hormones)-have a matching hormone receptor type.
