9.1 Principles of Cell Communication
| morris2e_ch9_2.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Cells communicate using chemical signals that bind to specific receptors.
| morris2e_ch9_3.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Signaling involves receptor activation, signal transduction, response, and termination.

9.2 Cell Signaling Over Long and Short Distances
| morris2e_ch9_5.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Endocrine signaling acts over long distances.
| morris2e_ch9_6.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Signaling can occur over short distances.
| morris2e_ch9_7.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Signaling can occur by direct cellâcell contact.

9.3 Cell-Surface and Intracellular Receptors
| morris2e_ch9_9.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Receptors for polar signaling molecules are on the cell surface.
| morris2e_ch9_10.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Receptors for nonpolar signaling molecules are in the interior of the cell.
| morris2e_ch9_11.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Cell-surface receptors act like molecular switches.

9.4 G Protein-Coupled Receptors and Short-Term Responses
| morris2e_ch9_13.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
The first step in cell signaling is receptor activation.
| morris2e_ch9_14.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Signals are often amplified in the cytosol.
| morris2e_ch9_15.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Signals lead to a cellular response.
| morris2e_ch9_16.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Signaling pathways are eventually terminated.
| morris2e_ch9_17.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
9.5 Receptor Kinases and Long-Term Responses
| morris2e_ch9_18.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Receptor kinases phosphorylate each other, activate intracellular signaling pathways, lead to a response, and are terminated.
| morris2e_ch9_19.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Case 2: How do cell signaling errors lead to cancer?
| morris2e_ch9_20.html | 560d81cd757a2eaa69000000 |
Signaling pathways are integrated to produce a response in a cell.
