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.

What are the paracrine glands?
Paracrine glands are similar to endocrine glands but instead of secreting material into the bloodstream or into their ducts, their products act on the target cells by diffusion of their material into the extracelular space or in the immediately subjacent connective tissue.
What type of hormone acts on neighboring cells without entering the bloodstream?
Paracrine
What are the chemicals that originate and have their effects in their local tissue environment?
The two chemicals are paracrine and cytokine.
What are molecules that are produced within one tissue but regulate a different tissue of the same organ called?
paracrine regulators
Which of the following is characterized by a cell releasing a signal molecule into the environment followed by a number of cells in the immediate vicinity responding?
paracrine signaling
Is testosterone a paracrine?
yes
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.
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 hormone has a paracrine and autocrine action and also is a circulating hormone?
Growth hormone
What do synaptic signaling and paracrine signaling have in common?
Thy are both local cellular communication

What is the difference between paracrine signaling and synaptic signaling?
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.
