start learning

Question		Answer
Cytonemes start learning		very long actin-rich filopodia-like structure to connect neighbor cells by adhesion
Ectosomes start learning		shedding vesicles formation of lipid raft  bussing  fission, rich in cholesterol, sphingomyelin and ganglioside
Endocrine system start learning		specialized in glandular cells, transport in bloodstream, slow but long effect
Exosomes start learning		small round veiscles, released from multivesicular bodies, rich in cholesterol, sphingomyelin and ceramide, and miRNA and mRNA
Gap junctions start learning		cell-contact dependent transport of small soluble molecules  narrow pore between adjacent cells  2 connexons  6 connexin proteins  4 transmembrane domans
Immunological synapses start learning		interface between an antigen-presenting cell and a lymphocyte to activate the lymphocyte (cytolytic effect)
Neurological synapses start learning		excitation transmission from sensory cells and neurons to other neurons and effectors
Paracrine signaling start learning		local diffusion through the ECM, for nearby cells, for quick responses for shot amount of time
Signaling filopodia start learning		directed juxtracrine signaling between distant cells
Tunneling nanotubes start learning		cellular protrusions filled with actin presenting a mechanism for direct, long-range intercelullar communication  membranous and cytoplasmic continuity between remote cells.
