Study Notes
Signal Transduction
- Time span for signal transduction: can be as long as a few minutes
- Occurs only at the cell surface: false, signal transduction can occur internally as well
Cell-Cell Signaling Communication
- Involves: synthesis, release, transport, binding, initiation, and changes in cellular function
- Extracellular signals are involved in this type of communication
Types of Intercellular Signaling
- Classified based on distance of signal action
- Types include: (no specific types mentioned)
Intracellular Signaling
- Components involved: include calcium ion
Endocrine Signaling
- Involves: hormones acting on target cells distant from the site of synthesis
