How do cell signal via direct contact?
• Cells communicate with a neighbouring cell which has gap junction to move molecules through causing a reaction/ response.
• Cells floating in the bloodstream with surface proteins that bind to one anoher leading to a change and a response
How does paracrine work
• Cells have molecules which are in vesicles and merge with the memebrane to be released • The molecules will then go to a cell with the right receptor and a response will take place.
How does the endocrine signal work?
1.Molecules go from the cell through the bloodstream into another cell with the right receptor
How does autocrine signal work?
• Molecules released from a cell and that same cell has the receptor the molecules will bind to
