How can a hormone that is present in very small quantities within the bloodstream elicit such a large response within a cell?
Hormones act as chemical messengers, binding to receptors on cell surfaces to trigger specific signaling pathways within the cell. Even at low concentrations, hormones can activate cascades of cellular responses due to amplification mechanisms in the signaling pathways, leading to significant effects on cellular processes.
What is it called when a hormone is present in excessive levels the number of target cells receptors may decrease?
Downregulation is the process in which the number of target cell receptors decreases in response to excessive levels of a hormone. This can help maintain homeostasis by reducing the cell's sensitivity to high hormone levels.
