Question
Chapter 17.4, Problem 22AYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The latent period between the hormones binding to the receptor and observed response.
Introduction:
Hormones are chemical molecules that act as messengers that are carried through the bloodstream to various target organs. The hormones are an integral part of the endocrine system that regulates and influences the majority of critical functions and mechanisms taking place inside the body.

Which of the following observations can be explained by the properties of hormone receptors?
a) A certain tissue can react to more than one hormone
b) A certain hormone affects only a specific tissue, not all tissues
c) Some tissues react very quickly to a certain hormone, other tissues take many hours to react to the same hormone
Is a hormone altered once it binds to a receptor? Is the receptor altered as a consequence of the hormone binding? What are the forces that bind the hormone to the receptor?
Is a hormone altered as a consequence of its interaction with a receptor? Is the receptor altered as a consequence of hormone binding? What are the forces that bind hormone and receptor?
