Study Notes

Lecture 1: Introduction to Signalling in Multicellularity

Primary focus: Introducing the concept of signalling in multicellularity and its importance

Signalling in Multicellularity

Function: Enables cells to communicate and coordinate their behaviour to form and maintain a multicellular organism

Cells in Multicellular Organisms

Described as: Social entities that communicate with each other to achieve common goals

Signalling in Biology

Compared to: A wireless communication network, where cells are the devices and signals are the transmitted information

Lecture 2: Signalling Series

Topic: Intercellular signalling mechanisms and their role in development and homeostasis

Description

Test your knowledge on cell signalling in multicellularity with this quiz based on Tom Pratt's lecture series "Cells to Organisms 2 signalling." Explore the mechanisms of signalling over long, intermediate, and short distances, and gain insights into the role of cell signalling in multicellular structures and sexual dimorphism.
