The Ability of a Specific Tissue or Organ to Respond

The ability of a specific tissue or organ to respond to the presence of a hormone is dependent on:

A) the location of the tissue or organ with respect to the circulatory path.
B) the membrane potential of the cells of the target organ.
C) the presence of the appropriate receptors on the cells of the target tissue or organ.
D) nothing. All hormones of the body are able to stimulate all cell types because hormones are powerful and nonspecific.
