Chemical messengers
controlled release of chemicals from a cell

Secretion
stimulates the cell that originally secreted it
CHOICES:
Neurotransmitter, Neurotransmittance, Paracrine, Autocrine, Endocrine, Secretion, Chemical messengers
Autocrine
act locally on nearby cells; secreted by one cell type into the extracellular fluid and affect surrounding cells of a different type
CHOICES:
Neurotransmitter, Neurotransmittance, Paracrine, Autocrine, Endocrine, Secretion, Chemical messengers
Paracrine
activate an adjacent cell

Endocrine
A sample of these chemical messengers is WBCs during allergic reactions
CHOICES:
Neurotransmitter, Neurotransmittance, Paracrine, Autocrine, Endocrine, Secretion, Chemical messengers
Paracrine
the chemical messenger that is secreted into the blood
Hormones
the effectors
CHOICES:
Target tissue, Hormones, Exocrine glands, Endocrinology, Endocrine system
Target tissue
have ducts that carry their secretions to the outside of the body
