Chapter 8.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The importance of signal transduction for most of the signaling molecules.
Introduction:
The holocrine cells or glands are formed from a specific type of cells that function to accumulate the product and then undergo disintegrations. The secretion produced from the holocrine glands is viscous in nature and consists of cellular fragments along with the fluid matter.

For most signaling molecules, explain why a signal transduction pathway is necessary
In vesicle based signaling, how is the regulated secretory pathway implicated in synaptic signaling ? Then, apply this information to describe in detail the pathway in which a neurotransmitter is received at the dendrites of one neuron and ultimately leads to the release of new transmitters that activate a second neuron .
