Match each description of a hormone's action to the correct target tissue. Bone tissue Epinephrine binds to muscarinic receptors in this tissue to cause increased secretion of sweat. Parathyroid hormone stimulates this tissue to Adipose tissue release calcium. Epinephrine stimulates the beta receptors of this tissue producing cAMP production and calcium permeability. Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the production of Skeletal muscle tissue sperm in this tissue. Blood tissue Cardiac tissue Merocrine sweat glands Hyperglycemia stimulates these cells to secrete insulin. Insulin stimulates this tissue to convert glucose to triglycerides. Seminiferous tubules Growth hormone stimulates this tissue to hypertrophy in response to mechanical trauma. Pancreatic islets Growth hormone stimulates chondroblasts and hyperplasia in this tissue and ossification of matrix. Hyaline cartilage Erythropoietin stimulates increased production of this tissue.
