Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1CRQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the statement ‘Intercellular communication through extracellular fluid is a characteristic of paracrines’ is true or false.
Introduction: The endocrine system is the chemical signaling system that uses blood vessels as information channels. The endocrine glands are ductless organs located within the organ systems and contain groups of endocrine cells that secrete their hormones directly into their surroundings.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1CRQ
Correct answer: True
Explanation of Solution
In paracrine signaling, the effector molecules do not enter the blood stream like the endocrine signaling. These molecules disseminate through the extracellular fluid and remain locally in the neighborhood of cells which secreted them. Hence, the given statement is true.
