A.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The similarities and differences between signaling by the neurons and signaling by the endocrine cells.

Concept introduction: Neurons are brain cells. They are involved in neuronal signaling of the neurons of the nervous system, which involves ligands called neurotransmitters. The location of the neuronal signaling is between two adjacent neurons called synaptic cleft. Endocrinal cells are involved in endocrinal signaling and are found in the endocrine organs. Endocrine signaling is where the cell secretes ligands called hormones, which is sent through the blood stream to a target cell, which is located far away from the origin cell.
