Hormones are distributed throughout the body in blood and other body fluids. Why don’t all
tissues/cells
respond to all hormones?
Solution
The “endocrine glands” are ductless glands, which release the hormones into the blood and are
transported to a site distant from its origin where it produces its action. It is known as endocrine
signalling. Though the endocrine hormones travel throughout the blood, only specific tissues
respond to each hormone because hormones bind to specific receptors to produce physiological
effects. For example, the insulin released by pancreas binds to the insulin receptor. The
luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) acts on receptors prominent in
ovaries and uterus.
