Cell signaling molecules are really important for how cells talk to each other, both inside and outside of them. Let's look at the main types:
Hormones:
Neurotransmitters:
Cytokines:
Growth Factors:
Pheromones:
Fun fact: The human body makes over 100 different hormones!
Also, scientists believe there are at least 100 different cytokines that help with immune responses. Plus, the amounts of neurotransmitters in our brain can really change how we feel and act.
