What type of cells must receive, relay, and respond to the information signaled?
A) GABA
B) Integrins
C) Target cells
D) Local regulators
E) Neurotransmitters
Target Cells
Specific cells affected by hormones or other agents due to the presence of receptors pertinent to the substance in question.
Local Regulators
Prostaglandins (a group of local hormones), growth factors, cytokines, and other soluble molecules that act on nearby cells by paracrine regulation or act on the cells that produce them (autocrine regulation).
GABA
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, a neurotransmitter in the brain that inhibits nerve transmission, promoting calm and reducing neural activity.
