Study Notes
Cell Communication
- Cell communication is a fundamental theme in physiology, necessary for coordination and homeostasis in the body.
- Cells can communicate using chemical or electrical signals, which can be transmitted long distances or locally.
Long Distance Signaling
- The nervous system and endocrine system rely on long-distance signaling.
- Hormones are released into the blood and travel long distances to target cells.
Local Signaling
- Gap junctions: signal molecules move directly through cytoplasmic connections between adjacent cells.
- Contact-dependent signaling: signal molecule sticks out of the membrane of one cell and binds to a receptor embedded in the membrane of an adjacent cell.
- Autocrine signaling: signal molecule is released from a cell, diffuses through extracellular fluid, and binds to a receptor on the same cell.
- Paracrine signaling: cell releases a chemical signal that diffuses through extracellular fluid and binds to receptors on nearby cells.
Receptor Location
- Hydrophilic signal molecules bind to cell surface receptors, which are embedded in the plasma membrane.
- Hydrophobic signal molecules move directly through the plasma membrane and bind to receptors in the cytoplasm or nucleus.
Signal Transduction Pathways
- Hydrophilic signal molecules bind to cell surface receptors, causing a conformational change that activates a signal transduction pathway inside the cell.
- Signal transduction pathways involve second messengers and can lead to responses such as changes in membrane permeability, enzyme activation, and gene expression.
- Receptor-channels, G-protein-coupled receptors, and receptor tyrosine kinases are types of cell surface receptors.
Importance of Cell Signaling
- Cell signaling is crucial for various bodily functions, from regulating heartbeats to communication between nerve cells in the brain.
- Disorders where cell signaling malfunctions are important to study for developing treatments.
- Diseases like HIV can exploit cell signaling by targeting specific receptors on immune cells.
