It is possible for cells to communicate directly (via a connection of the cytoplasm)with each other by using
A)gap junctions.
B)paracrine signaling.
C)endocrine signaling.
D)autocrine signaling.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gap junctions provide a direct connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells, allowing for direct communication between them. Paracrine signaling involves the release of signaling molecules that diffuse locally to act on neighboring cells, while endocrine signaling involves the release of hormones that travel through the bloodstream to act on distant target cells. Autocrine signaling involves a cell producing a signaling molecule that acts on receptors on its own surface, leading to a cellular response.
