Answer:
target cell
Explanation:
Target cell for a certain hormone is a cell that have hormone receptor specific for that hormone. There are two main types of receptors on target cell:
- cell membrane receptors (also called trans membrane receptors)-usually for peptide hormones, such as insulin
- intracellular receptors (also called nuclear receptors)-usually for steroid hormones, such as testosterone.
Hormone binding to the receptor leads to the signal cascade within the cell, which results in cell response.
