Understand that hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream to target cells.
Recognize that a cell's responsiveness to a hormone is determined by the presence of specific receptors on its surface or inside the cell.
Learn that these receptors are proteins that bind to the hormone, initiating a cellular response.
Note that the proximity of the cell to the hormone-secreting gland does not affect responsiveness; it is the presence of receptors that is crucial.
Understand that the size of the cell or its ability to produce hormones does not influence its responsiveness to external hormones.
