The answer is reflex action. Impulse that triggers a reflex action does not pass through the brain so as to shorten the time for response. It passes through a reflex arch and this is why the muscles are contracted even without time to think of what happened. The sensory and motor neurons only arch at the spinal cord.

Explanation:

Target cell for a certain hormone is a cell that have hormone receptor specific for that hormone. There are two main types of receptors on target cell:

  • cell membrane receptors (also called  trans membrane receptors)-usually for peptide hormones, such as insulin
  • intracellular receptors (also called nuclear receptors)-usually for steroid hormones, such as testosterone.

Hormone binding to the receptor leads to the signal cascade within the cell, which results in cell response.

Receptors for thyroid hormones are nuclear receptors.
