What Are Some Examples of Signal Transmission in Histology?
Examples of signal transmission in histology include:
- Neuronal signaling: Involves the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, resulting in the propagation of an electrical signal. - Hormonal signaling: Hormones like insulin bind to their receptors on target cells, triggering pathways that regulate glucose metabolism. - Growth factor signaling: Growth factors such as EGF bind to receptor tyrosine kinases, leading to cell growth and differentiation.
