cells do not receive glucose

Front 27

what are target cells

Back 27

the specific cells or organs a hormone is meant to affect. each hormone must have a receptor protein present on a cell's plasma membrane in order to work.

Front 28

what are hormones?

Back 28

chemical substances, secreted by cells into extracellular fluids, that regulate the metabolic activity of other cells of the body

Front 29

second messenger system

Back 29

non-steroidal hormones bind to receptors on plasma membrane. reactions go off inside cell activating an enzyme; enzyme sets off reactions to create a second messenger.
