The reason for a particular hormone not be able to enter a particular cell is that the hormone is not needed there. Why isn't insulin found in the neurons? Same reason.

The reason due to which a particular hormone is not entering a particular cell is the fact that this cell does not carry the receptor for the particular hormone.

Explanation: A particular hormone enters the cell which carries a particular type of functional receptors.

  • The hormones are secreted at the place where they are needed to perform a specific type of function, for example, the insulin hormone is secreted in the blood for regulating the blood glucose levels.
  • So the hormones affect the cells that bear the specific types of functional receptors, these types of cells are known as target cells.
  • The target cells are affected by the hormone to perform their specific functions.
  • The functional receptors can be present either on the surface of the target cell or inside the target cell.
  • All the hormones are governed to perform different types of functions in the body that are target-specific.
  • Therefore, when a hormone is not entering a particular cell it means that cells do not bear functional receptors for the particular hormone.
