Hormone Concentration and Target Cells Quiz

The metabolism (activation or inactivation) of the hormone in the target cell

The postreceptor desensitization of the cell

The proximity of the target cell to the hormone source (dilution effect) (correct)

The rate of clearance from plasma by other tissues or by digestion, metabolism, or excretion

The conversion of inactive or suboptimally active forms of the hormone into the fully active form

The dissociation constants of the hormone with specific plasma transport proteins (if any)

The rate of synthesis and secretion of the hormones

The number, relative activity, and state of occupancy of the specific receptors on the plasma membrane or in the cytoplasm or nucleus (correct)

The rate of clearance from plasma by other tissues or by digestion, metabolism, or excretion

The presence of other factors within the cell that are necessary for the hormone response

The metabolism (activation or inactivation) of the hormone in the target cell

The conversion of inactive or suboptimally active forms of the hormone into the fully active form (correct)
