CELL COMMUNICATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An example of LONG-DISTANCE cell communication is:
A
White blood cells bumping into each other sharing antigen info
B
Neurons communicating across a synapse
C
Hormones traveling through the bloodstream to target tissues
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine signaling is an example of long distance communication between hormone producing cells, tissues and glands and cells that express hormone receptor molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -In long-distance endocrine signaling, signals are produced by specialized cells and released into the bloodstream, which carries them to target cells in distant parts of the body. Signals that are produced in one part of the body and travel through the circulation to reach far-away targets are known as hormones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endocrine Signaling: To send messages across long distances, cells use this method. Endocrine signals travel through the bloodstream to reach target tissues and cells. Signals that originate in one part of the body and travel to their target through the bloodstream are called hormones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Yes, endocrine signaling is an example of long-distance signaling. Specialized cells, tissues, glands, and organs use the circulatory system to send the hormones they produce in order to target cells in other parts of the body. It produces a slow and long-lasting response in these target cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Endocrine signaling occurs between distant cells and is mediated by hormones released from specific endocrine cells that travel to target cells, producing a slower, long-lasting response.
