BIO 208 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Amplitude Modulation, Endocrine System, Frequency Modulation
Document Summary
Nervous system and endocrine system: target tissues. Can be relatively slow to initiate a response. Endocrine hormones travel throughout the body to relatively distant. Endocrine system can cause responses in a wide range of tissues. Endocrine system"s tissue response is usually sustained over a longer. Each hormone has one or more target tissues. Cells need to be in constant communication with each other. The local transfer of these chemical messengers between adjacent. Paracrine communication is responsible for the coordination of a tissue"s function at the local level. All cells use paracrine communication, but not all cells produce. Cells bombarded with (cid:883)(cid:882)(cid:882)(cid:882)"s of chemical messengers. Secreted by the endocrine system by one or many cells having. The cells or tissues that have a receptor to bind the hormone a physiological control effect on other cells in the body cells is called paracrine communication. Same cell = autocrine hormones that coordinate activities in distant tissues.
