How does the target tissue become stimulated by a hormone while other tissue remain unaffected?

Target tissues are stimulated by hormones due to the presence of specific receptors that recognize and bind to those hormones. When a hormone binds to its receptor on the target tissue, it triggers a cellular response that can lead to various physiological effects. In contrast, tissues that lack these specific receptors do not respond to the hormone, allowing for selective stimulation and regulation of physiological processes. This specificity ensures that hormones can exert their effects only where needed, maintaining proper bodily functions.
