Signal Transduction Flashcards
Type of signaling wherein signals are send to target cell
Intercellular signaling
Type of signaling for signal transduction
Intracellular signaling
Types of Intercellular signal
Chemical
Electrical
Cell to cell
[Type of Intercellular Signal]
Released in extracellular compartment before it can be received by the target cell
Chemical signal
Examples of chemical signal
Hormones, neurotransmitter
Types of chemical signal
endocrine, paracrine, autocrine
[Type of Chemical Signal] released in the vascular compartment; enters the circulation
endocrine signal
[type of chemical signal] binds to receptorss of neighboring cell of a different cell type; enters the interstitial compartment
paracrine signal
[type of chemical signal] binds to the cell of origin or neighboring cells of the same cell type
autocrine signal
T or F: No cellular receptors, no cellular response
T
types of cellular receptors
intracellular receptors, plasma membrane or cell surface receptors
[type of intracellular receptor] activates membrane enzyme that will cause the release of secondary messengers
plasma membrane or cell surface receptor
types of intracellular receptor
steroid receptor, cytoplasmic receptor
types of cell surface receptor
ligand gated ion channels (ionotropic receptor), G-protein coupled receptor, enzyme-linked receptor
example of ionotropic receptor
acetylcholine
