Cellular responses to stimuli can be classified into several types, including:
Proliferation: Cells may undergo division in response to growth factors or other mitogenic stimuli. Differentiation: Cells may differentiate into specialized cell types in response to specific signals. Apoptosis: Programmed cell death may be triggered by harmful stimuli or during normal development. Secretion: Cells may release hormones, enzymes, or other substances in response to stimuli. Migration: Cells may move towards or away from a stimulus, a process crucial in wound healing and cancer metastasis.
