Chapter 11: Cell Communication 1. What is the difference between paracrine signaling & endocrine signaling? - Paracrine – local signaling from 1 cell to another in close range - Endocrine – long-distance signaling involving hormones Local signaling Long-distance signaling Target cell Secreting cell Electrical signal along nerve cell triggers release of neurotransmitter Neurotransmitter diffuses across synapse Secretory vesicle Local regulator diffuses through extracellular fluid (a) Paracrine signaling. A secreting cell acts on nearby target cells by discharging molecules of a local regulator (a growth factor, for example) into the extracellular fluid. Endocrine cell Target cell is stimulated Blood vessel Hormone travels in bloodstream to target cells Target cell (b) Synaptic signaling. A nerve cell releases neurotransmitter molecules into a synapse, stimulating the target cell. (c) Hormonal signaling. Specialized endocrine cells secrete hormones into body fluids, often the blood. Hormones may reach virtually all body cells.
Figure 11. 3 Communication by direct contact between cells Plasma membranes Gap junctions between animal cells Plasmodesmata between plant cells (a) Cell junctions. Both animals and plants have cell junctions that allow molecules to pass readily between adjacent cells without crossing plasma membranes. (b) Cell-cell recognition. Two cells in an animal may communicate by interaction between molecules protruding from their surfaces.
