Question
types of chemical signaling
what do paracrine cells target?
nearby but different types of cells
the same cell or cell type
cells using neurotransmitters
distant tissues
Paracrine signaling involves signaling molecules (paracrine factors) that act on nearby cells. These cells are of a different type than the signaling cell. Autocrine signaling targets the same cell or cell - type (so the second option is for autocrine). Neurotransmitters are related to synaptic signaling (not paracrine). Endocrine signaling targets distant tissues (using hormones in the bloodstream).
