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 involves the release of signaling molecules, like hormones or neurotransmitters, into the extracellular fluid to act on neighboring cells. Synaptic signaling occurs at specialized junctions called synapses, where neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit signals across the synaptic cleft. Both types of signaling are essential for communication between cells in the body.
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.
Yes. A synapse by definition is the space (gap) between one neurons terminal buton and another neurons dendrites. So, the neuron with the terminal buton end is known as the pre-synaptic neuron and the neuron after the synapse is known as the post-synaptic neuron.
synaptic cleft i think
A neuromodulator modifies or makes more or less efficient the synaptic action of a neurotransmitter. Whereas a neurotransmitters work as chemicals released from terminal vesicles into synaptic clefts to receptors depolarizing the next neuron and initiates an electrical charge.
Paracrines act locally but, affect all cell types other than those releasing Paracrines chemicals. Hormones are long distance chemical signals that travel in blood or lymph throughout the body.
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 transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
In autocrine signaling, a substance produced by a cell effects that cell, as with cytokines in the immunity system. Endrocrine signaling is a systemic response to a substance.
Axon is branch of neuron that conducts impulse , axonal terminal and synaptic knob are same , it is bulb like and makes a synapse .
Synaptic gaps are the spaces between neurons.
synaptic cleft, where neurotransmitters are released by the synaptic terminal and bind to receptors on the muscle fiber to trigger a muscle contraction.
Yes. A synapse by definition is the space (gap) between one neurons terminal buton and another neurons dendrites. So, the neuron with the terminal buton end is known as the pre-synaptic neuron and the neuron after the synapse is known as the post-synaptic neuron.
A diverging circuit is when one input has multiple outputs, leading to signal spreading out. A converging circuit is when multiple inputs converge into a single output, combining signals.
