What Type of Cells Respond to a Particular Hormone

Question

What type of cells respond to a particular hormone?
A) glandular
B) target
C) receptive
D) endocrine

Accepted Answer

Target cells, also known as target tissues, respond to a particular hormone. These cells have specific receptors for the hormone, which allows them to recognize and respond to its signals. Glandular cells produce and secrete hormones, while endocrine cells are a type of glandular cell that release hormones directly into the bloodstream. Receptive cells do not specifically relate to hormone response.
