Cell Communication by Autacoids and Paracrine Hormones

  • Chapter
Comprehensive Human Physiology

Abstract

Multicellular organisms require mechanisms by which coordination is secured. This coordination is based on one of the following basic principles:

  • Cell-to-cell communication by gap junctions

  • Neuronal networks and neuronal control

  • Hormonal control
