Withers CH 11 Endocrinology Communication Pathways Among Cells • endocrine: fluid-born transport of chemical mediators (ex., insulin in regulation of glucose metabolism) • paracrine: local diffusional transport of chemical mediators (ex., histamine in the inflammatory response) • autocrine: local action of a chemical mediator on its own secretory cell (ex., norepinephrine to autoregulate further release from the nerve) • neuroendocrine: endocrine-like secretion from a neuron-like secretory cell (ex., oxytocin in the “milk let-down” response) Negative Feedback Endocrine systems • Neuroendocrine – Neurosecretion • Classical endocrine
