What type of signaling are steroids and polypeptides involved in?
a. Autocrine
B. Endocrine
C. Juxtacrine
E. Synaptic
Cells can detect whats going on around them & they can respond it from their neighbours & environment.
2 kinds of cellular communication- communication between cells is called intercellular & communication within the cells is called interacellular signalling.
types of signalling -
1. Autocrine- a cell target itself.
2.Endocrine - a cell targets a distant cell through a blood stream. eg: steroid hormones
3. Juxtacrine- involves communication between cells that are in direct contact with each other.
4. Synaptic - it is found in the nervous system. Here signalling occurs between 2 nerve cells.
b. Endocrine signalling is the type of signalling are steroids & polypeptides involved in.
