A Real Example of Cell Communication

This 3-D movie is a close look at some of the cell signaling and responses that take place throughout the body during the fight-or- flight response. The dynamic ways in which cells communicate with each other through molecular signals is depicted without focusing on anatomy, vocabulary or chemistry.

"God done it" has never turned out to be the answer.

@yoshihawv

Okay, sorry.

@yoshihawv Sadly many other people would say the same thing but not sarcastically. I like the point you make though =)

@circusOFprecision There is no chance that this happened by accident lol

According to the video, muscles can be contracted by sending molecules through the bloodvein. But for other muscles, there is an electrical nerve system because it has to be very fast. Transporting those signals via blood would take a second or so, I could imagine.

Could anybody maybe answer the question if muscles can also be triggered by molecules in the bloodvein like portrayed in this video?

@circusOFprecision That's the exact point I was making. I was using sarcasm.
