Endocrinology Flashcards
1
Q
Autocrine signaling
A
Hormones bind to a receptor on gland cells which induces a cell response. Gland cell releases hormones which then bind to their cell of origin to cause a cell response
2
Q
Paracrine signaling
A
Large quantities of hormones are released to trigger a cell
3
Q
Endocrine signaling
A
Hormones get pumped through the blood vessels and bind to cell receptors
