Summary Introduction
To determine:
The relationship among endocrine glands, hormones, and target cells.
Concept introduction:
A hormone is produced by endocrine glands and works as a chemical messenger that circulates to all tissue but only activate cells referred to as target cells that have specific receptors to which hormones binds.
