Question 2

The ability of a specific tissue or organ to respond to the presence of a hormone is dependent on .

Accepted Answer

A) the presence of the appropriate receptors on the cells of the target tissue or organ 
B) the location of the tissue or organ with respect to the circulatory path 
C) nothing-all hormones of the human body are able to stimulate any and all cell types because hormones are powerful and nonspecific 
D) the membrane potential of the cells of the target organ
