Study Notes
Introduction to Endocrinology
- The body's physiological activities are regulated by two main systems: the nervous system and the endocrine system.
- These two systems interact with each other to control body functions.
- The endocrine system functions by secreting chemical substances called hormones.
Cell-to-cell Signaling
- Cell-to-cell signaling is the transfer of information from one cell to another.
- It is also referred to as cell signaling or intercellular communication.
- Cells in the body communicate with each other through chemical messengers.
