Question 33 (2 points) Which of the following is a correct description of paracrine and endocrine cell signaling? Paracrine signals function outside of ECF while endocrine signals function inside of ECF. Both paracrine and endocrine signals travel via the blood, but paracrine signals only affect cells near the secreting cell. Paracrine signals bind to all cells, while endocrine signals only bind to target cells. Paracrine signals travel via simple diffusion through interstitial fluid, while endocrine signals travel via the blood.
