Similar to neurotransmitters, hormones exert their action only on cells that have specific receptors that the hormones bind to.
- A receptor molecule that interacts to a particular hormone is known as a hormone receptor. The large family of proteins known as hormone receptors includes receptors for thyroid and steroid hormones, retinoids, vitamin D, and several additional receptors for different ligands, including fatty acids and prostaglandins.
- They are responsible for transporting chemical "messages" from one neuron (nerve cell) to the subsequent target cell. The target cell may be a gland, muscle, or another nerve cell.
- Neurotransmitters have a rapid response time and operate locally. Our thoughts, motives, and capacity for learning and concentration are all influenced by both hormones and neurotransmitters.
