A cell with membrane-bound proteins that selectively bind a specific hormone is called that hormone's target cell.
The cells which perform secretory functions like secretion of hormones and cellular fluids (plasma, lymph, etc.) are known as secretory cells.
Example:- Thyroid cells, Pancreatic cells, etc.
Those cells which release hormones in the bloodstream are called endocrine cells.
Example:- Beta hormones, somatostatin, pancreas
Those cells that regulate the functions of hormonal action are called regulatory cells.
The release of hormones in the target cell or in the bloodstream is regulated by other hormones or neuron cells. Firstly hormones are secreted from the gland and with the help of regulatory cells, they are guided on whether to release in the bloodstream or to a particular organ called the target organ. Then hormone shows its effect on targeted organs or cells.
Hence, from the above explanation, we can say that cell with membrane-bound proteins that selectively bind a specific hormone is called that hormone's target cell.
