Best Answer

Any form of "crine" communication involves hormones, the basic chemical form of communication (similar to how synaptic communication works), in this cause auto meaning self regulatory or to put it another way, The hormone released alters(communicates with) the functions of the cell that released the hormone in the first place.

What kind of signal type is a paracrine?

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.


What are the difference between the way hormones coordinate body functions and the way the nervous system coordinates body function?

Hormones regulate your body via chemical excretions in the blood. Neurons "talk" to other neurons and release chemicals via a synapse (no transfer through blood). There are neurohormones which are released by nerve cells into the blood.

What are paracrine hormones?

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.
