- Cell signaling is initiated by the binding of signaling molecules, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, to receptors on the surface of a cell.
- The ability of cells to respond to stimuli from their environment is called irritability.
- The Latin origin of the prefix 'inter-' is "between", referring to signaling that occurs between cells.
