Chapter 6: “Communication, Integration and Homeostasis • Cell to cell communication • Gap junctions • Paracrines and autocrines • Long distance communication • Signaling pathways • Receptors • Ion channels • Signal transduction
Cell to cell communication connexins Ca++ ATP
Cell to cell communication Diffuse to targets through interstitial fluid e.g. Histamine leaves damaged cell capillary cell (endothelial cell) becomes more permeable fluid accumulates around damaged cell swelling
Examples of paracrine molecules: • Cytokines, peptides (e.g. erythropoietin) • Eicosanoids, lipid derived (e.g. prostaglandins, leukotrienes)
Cell to cell communication: long distance through blood vessels
Cell to cell communication: long distance through neurons Neurotransmitter molecules
Cell to cell communication: long distance Neurons release product into blood e.g. oxytocin
Signaling pathways in a cell. - receptor proteins
Classes of membrane receptors e.g. Neuromuscular junction e.g. insulin e.g. Olfaction Vision Hormones Some neurotransmitters e.g. blood clotting -platelets
How ion channels participate in cell to cell communication. e.g. Neural control of skeletal muscle contraction.
The idea of signal transduction Can adjust volume
** Signal transduction in a cell.
The idea that signal transduction is a cascade. E.g. blood clotting
In receptor-enzymes, the amplifier enzyme is in the cell membrane.
The G-protein coupled receptor adenylyl cylcase cascade.
