The correct option is c. the presence of appropriate receptors on target cells.

Hormones are secreted by the endocrine glands and act as chemical messengers enabling communication between the cells. The hormones have several diverse functions like to maintain homeostasis, regulation in different metabolic processes etc. The hormones are secreted into the extracellular environment from where they diffuse to the bloodstream and are transported by the circulatory system to the target cells. The target cells contain the receptors specific for a particular hormone and is activated either by a lipid soluble or by a water soluble hormone which binds to the cell surface receptors.

A nurse is caring for a client who just had a gastrectomy. what should the nurse emphasize when teaching the client how to avoid
Nimfa-mama [501]
The nurse should tell the patient to eat small meals with low carbohydrate and moderate fat content. This is because small meals with low carbohydrate, moderate fat, and high protein are recommended; these are processed more readily and avoid rapid stomach emptying. Rest, not activity, after meals assists in limiting dumping syndrome. Fluid intake with meals should be in moderation. Fluids with meals cause rapid emptying of the food from the stomach into the jejunum before it is sufficiently subjected to the digestive process; the hyperosmolar mixture causes a fluid shift to the jejunum. A high-Fowler position will not reduce the risk of dumping syndrome.
