About the Lecture
The lecture Modes of Cell Communication: Overview by Georgina Cornwall, PhD is from the course Cellular Structure.
Included Quiz Questions
Which statement is NOT correct about autocrine signaling?
- Autocrine signaling in the nervous system helps develop stronger connections between axons of neurons and muscle cells.
- Autocrine signaling is a cellular self-signaling developmental balance check system that regulates the cell-development cycle.
- The cell-mediated immune response of the immune system is an example of autocrine signal–based communication.
- Autocrine signaling is crucial in cancer development and its self-sustainable growth.
- In autocrine signaling, the signaling molecule produced by a cell binds to the cell membrane receptor of that cell.
Which of the signaling modalities are paired correctly?
- Neurotransmission － a specialized form of paracrine signaling used by the nervous system
- Endocrine － cell-to-cell signaling between nearby cells
- Autocrine － cell-to-cell signaling by cells in direct contact
- Paracrine － cell-to-cell signaling over long distances via the bloodstream
- Direct contact － cell signaling in the same cell
