Which of the following is characterized by a cell releasing a signal molecule into the environment, followed by a number of cells in the immediate vicinity responding?
|
|
paracrine signaling
|
|
|
endocrine signaling
|
|
|
long distance signaling
|
|
|
hormonal signaling

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In paracrine signaling, a molecule released by one cell acts on neighboring target cells. An example is provided by the action of neurotransmitters in carrying signals between nerve cells at a synapse.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following signaling is involved in Paracrine signaling? Sol: (a) Chemical signaling.
Detailed explanation-3: -Specificity of signaling can be controlled if only some cells can respond to a particular hormone. Endocrine signaling involves the release of hormones by internal glands of an organism directly into the circulatory system, regulating distant target organs.
