Hormones recognize cells by these "locators" on the outsude of the cell membrane.  

What are target cells? 

100

For this type of hormone,  a chemical messenger (mRNA) is used to translate the code from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

What is a steroid? 

100

These two participate in both the endocrine and the nervous systems. 

What are the pituitary and hypothalamus glands?

What is negative feedback?

200

Chemicals pass through the glandular epithelium because the glands are lacking this structure.
