( A ) Hormone receptors present on the cell membrane of the target cells are called membrane-bound receptors and the receptors present inside the target cell are called intracellular receptors, mostly nuclear receptors (present in the nucleus).
( B ) Binding of a hormone to its receptor leads to the formation of a hormone-receptor complex
( C ) Hormone receptors are non specific.
( D ) Hormones produce their effects on target tissues by binding to specific proteins called hormone receptors located in the target tissues only.
