MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In juxtacrine interactions, proteins from the inducing cell interact with receptor proteins of adjacent responding cells. The inducer does not diffuse from the cell producing it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Juxtacrine signaling occurs between neighboring cells that are in physical contact with each other. In this case, the signaling molecule is not free, but is instead bound to the membrane of the cell. It may then interact with a receptor on the membrane of an adjacent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -In biology, juxtacrine signalling (or contact-dependent signalling) is a type of cell–cell or cell–extracellular matrix signalling in multicellular organisms that requires close contact.

Detailed explanation-4: -5. Name the signaling which requires physical contacts between the cells involved. Explanation: Juxtracrine signaling is different from another signaling as it requires physical contact between the cells, these signals neither travel to distant target nor act on the same cell. 6.
