Endocrine System Test Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
How do hormones affect target tissues?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because hormones are released into the bloodstream by endocrine glands and travel to specific target tissues, where they bind to receptors on the surface or within the cells. This binding triggers a series of cellular responses that regulate various physiological processes. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because hormones do not affect target tissues through the digestive system, nervous system, or by secreting mucus. Hormones act specifically by binding to receptors on target cells to initiate their effects.
