Question
target cells
all target cells
have receptors to which hormones bind
are found in the blood
secrete hormones
produce their own hormones
Target cells are defined by having specific receptors. Hormones travel through the blood (but target cells aren't in the blood - blood is the transport medium). Endocrine glands (not target cells) secrete hormones. Target cells don't produce their own hormones in this context - they respond to external (from endocrine glands) hormones. The key characteristic is receptor - hormone binding.
