What is the role of synaptic potentials in the perception of pain? What kind of reaction might you expect if synaptic potentials were removed?
synaptic cleft.
Cell-Cell Recognition
Thy are both local cellular communication
Paracrine means it is does not involve the bloodstream. It does however involve cellular secretion of signaling molecules to local cells. Synaptic signaling is a paracrine type signaling but rather than being secreted to several local cells in the vicinity of the signaling cell, the signaling molecules are just secreted to a receptor cell only a narrow space away. Imagine working in an office of cubicals. Toss wadded up notes up over your wall and into the 10 closest cubicals and compare that too just tossing it to the one next to you.
Paracrine signaling is a form of cell signaling in which the target cell is near ("para" = near) the signal-releasing cell.A distinction is sometimes made between paracrine and autocrine signaling. Both affect neighboring cells, but whereas autocrine signaling occurs among the same types of cells, paracrine signaling affects other types of (adjacent) cells.
synaptic signaling
paracrine signaling
Nerves communicate at specialized cell junctions known as synapses. In response to some stimuli, in many cases an action potential, the pre-synaptic nerve releases signal molecules into the space between the two cells (the synaptic cleft). The signaling molecule is then bound by a receptor on the post-synaptic neuron. In this fashion "instructions" can be communicated between neurons. Generally binding of the messenger signal leads to the opening of an ion channel in the post-synaptic nerve causing that nerve to either become more or less excited. In the case of more excited the post-synaptic neuron will approach being able to fire its own action potential if it is excited enough.
Neurotransmitters are extracellular signaling molecules released at the synapse by the pre-synaptic nerve, and carry the signal to the post synaptic neuron. They include acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine and gamma-amino butyric acid.
yes
The indicitive actions of the secretions (an agonist) of one type of endocrine cell on another.eg.growth factors,clotting factors are both paracine signaling agents in which the target cells are nearby. Signal molecules only affect adjacent cells.
eicosanoid
Paracrine hormones are local hormones that diffuse a short distance to other cells.Hormones produced by the autocrine and paracrine route are restricted to working within the cytoplasm of the cell where as exocrine and endocrine hormones move within the body of the organism.
