Detailed explanation-1: -Communication between cells is called intercellular signaling, and communication within a cell is called intracellular signaling.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical signals between cells are called ligands. A ligand is a molecule that binds another specific molecule. In the case of cell signaling, the ligand binds a receptor, a protein in or on the target cell. Examples of ligands include hormones and neurotransmitters.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells typically communicate using chemical signals. These chemical signals, which are proteins or other molecules produced by a sending cell, are often secreted from the cell and released into the extracellular space. There, they can float – like messages in a bottle – over to neighboring cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gap junctions are involved in cellular communication-not just in epithelial tissue, but in other tissue types as well. Gap junctions are specialized connections that form a narrow pore between adjacent cells.
