_______ are Specific Cells on Which Hormones Act

Question

_______ are specific cells on which hormones act.
A) Target cells
B) Alpha cells
C) Hormonal cells
D) Prostaglandins

Accepted Answer

Target cells are specific cells in the body that have receptors for a particular hormone. When the hormone binds to the receptor on the target cell, it causes a specific physiological response or effect. Alpha cells and hormonal cells are not accurate descriptions for cells on which hormones act, and prostaglandins are not cells but rather a type of hormone-like molecule.
