done by 3 main ways. 1) they display plasma

inside the target cell and the signal molecule has to
enter the cell to bind w/ them. 3) they form protein
channels that directly coordinate the activities of the
adjacent cells. Pg 19.
Primary means of cell-to-cell communication. 5
forms of signaling mediated by secreted molecules:
(1) Contact-dependent signaling requires cells to be
in close membrane-membrane contact; (2)
Paracrine signaling- cells secrete local chemical
mediators that are quickly absorbed, destroyed, or
immobilized; (3) Autocrine signaling- cells produce
What is chemical signals that they, themselves, respond to (cancer
signaling? cells); (4) Hormonal signaling involves specialized
endocrine cells that secrete chemicals called
hormones (TSH). Hormones are released by one set
of cells and travel through the tissue and through
the bloodstream to produce a response in other
sets of cells; (5) Neurohormonal signaling-
hormones are released into the blood by
neurosecretory neurons. (p.19)

The Na+ -K+ antiport system (Na+ moving out of the
cell and K+ moving into the cell) uses the direct
energy of ATP to move these cations. The
transporter protein is the enzyme adenosine
triphosphatase (ATPase). Approximately 60% to 70%
of the ATP synthesized by cells is used to maintain
the Na+-K+ transport system. 1, three Na+ ions bind
to sodium- binding sites on the carrier's interface. 2,

releases the three Na+ ions to the outside of the
cell, and attracts two potassium ions to its

its original shape, releasing the two K+ ions and the
remnant of the ATP molecule to the inside of the

expenditure of metabolic energy. Unlike passive
What is active transport? transport, active transport occurs across only living
membranes that have to drive the flow "uphill" by
coupling it to an energy source (p. 28)
Growth factor, also called cytokines, stimulate an

the synthesis of proteins and other macromolecules
and inhibiting their degradation (p. 38)
Cytokines constitute a large family of small-
