Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of receptor at the tissue determines whether or not the tissue will respond to a particular hormone. Some hormones have specific receptors that are only found in certain tissues, so those hormones will only affect those specific tissues. The plasma concentration and concentration of the hormone are important factors, but they do not solely determine which tissues will be affected. The training state of the subject is also not a determining factor in which tissues will be affected by a particular hormone.
