Select the correct word from the list to complete each sentence. Not all terms will be used.
A receptor site on a cell exhibits specificity, meaning it allows only certain hormones to bind. Decreasing the number of receptor sites on a target cell results in desensitization. A hormone can only stimulate a cell that has receptors for that hormone. Due to a target cell's affinity for a specific hormone, a small concentration of hormones is needed to achieve the desired result. Target cells can increase their sensitivity to a hormone through up-regulation.
