Types of signaling
-
Some cells are close-ish and signal molecules diffuse and target the receptors of another cell (paracrine signaling)
-
For long distance signaling, hormones are released into the bloodstream (endocrine signaling)
-
Ligand-gated ion channels are receptors for ions which can't pass through the cell membrane (ligands bind to cell and open the channel so that charged ions can pass through)

Receptors
Intracellular receptors

-
The hormone receptor complex translocated to the nucleus and acts as a transcription factor (affects transcription of genes)
