MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following signaling is involved in Paracrine signaling? Sol: (a) Chemical signaling.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paracrine signaling Often, cells that are near one another communicate through the release of chemical messengers (ligands that can diffuse through the space between the cells). This type of signaling, in which cells communicate over relatively short distances, is known as paracrine signaling.

Detailed explanation-3: -Paracrine Signaling Signals that act locally between cells that are close together are called paracrine signals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Paracrine molecules signal the functional status of neighboring islet cells and modify a cell’s activity to coordinate its hormone secretion. The islet processes all these signals as a multicellular unit to produce a concerted hormonal output that efficiently maintains homeostatic control over plasma glucose.
