Detailed explanation-1: -In endocrinology, target cells can refer to the cells where hormones have an effect. Target cells are capable of responding to hormones because they display receptors to which the circulating hormone can bind. Modulation of these factors can control target cell response.
Detailed explanation-2: -Target cells are cells that are receptive to a secreted hormone. Target cell activation is. dependent on three factors; the hormone levels in the blood, the receptor levels on the target cell, and hormone–receptor affinity.
Detailed explanation-3: -noun. : a cell that is acted on selectively by a specific agent (as a virus, drug, or hormone)
Detailed explanation-4: -Hormones target a limited number of cells or tissues based on the presence of a specific receptor as they circulate in the bloodstream. The hormones produced by the endocrine system travel via the blood to reach their target cells, tissues or organs.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hormones travel throughout the body, either in the blood stream or in the fluid around cells, looking for target cells. Once hormones find a target cell, they bind with specific protein receptors inside or on the surface of the cell and specifically change the cell’s activities.
