A chemical signal is released from one cell and binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, autocrine signaling neurotransmission mostly uses this type of signaling A hormone is released in one organ and has paracrine signaling receptors on an organ that is at a distance away from releasing cells A chemical released by a cell binds to receptors on the same cell that released this chemical. Commonly this is feedback inhibition. endocrine signaling
