Concept explainers
A.
To determine: Whether a telephone conversation is analogous to autocrine, paracrine, endocrine, and synaptic signaling by cells.
Introduction:
Cell-cell communication includes the transmission of a signal from a cell to the target cell. It is classified into four categories- paracrine, autocrine, endocrine, and direct synaptic cell signaling. These are categorized on the basis of the distance travelled by signals to reach target cell.
B.
To determine: Whether talking to people at a cocktail party is analogous to autocrine, paracrine, endocrine, and synaptic signaling by cells.
Introduction:
Cell-cell communication includes the transmission of a signal from a cell to the target cell. It is classified into four categories- paracrine, autocrine, endocrine, and direct synaptic cell signaling. These are categorized on the basis of the distance travelled by signals to reach target cell.
C.

D.
To determine: Whether talking to yourself is analogous to autocrine, paracrine, endocrine, and synaptic signaling by cells.
