Thyroid hormone interacts with its target tissue by

A) using the intracellular mediator system.
B) binding to a membrane bound receptor.
C) increasing I^- uptake in the target cells.
D) releasing thyroglobulin.
E) binding to receptor molecules in the nucleus.

Thyroid Hormone

A hormone produced by the thyroid gland, important for regulating metabolism, energy generation, and growth and development.

Intracellular Mediator

Molecule produced within a cell that binds to a macromolecule, such as receptors or enzymes inside that cell, that regulates their activities; also called second messenger.

Target Tissue

Specific tissues or organs that are affected by specific hormones, drugs, or other signals within an organism, responding due to the presence of appropriate receptors.
