Cell Communication

Mr. Andersen explains cell communication by drawing parallels with human communication methods. He uses analogies like Post-it-Notes, emails, and Facebook posts to describe cell-to-cell contact, local regulators, and hormonal communication. The video covers how cells communicate directly, over short distances, and over long distances using examples like immune responses, neurotransmitters, and growth hormones.

How do local regulators provide control over the signaling between neurons?

In what ways can the communication methods in cells be compared to social media interactions?

What are the effects of human growth hormone on the body during puberty?

What happens when the message of human growth hormone goes out of control, as illustrated by Robert Wadlow?
