Biochemical signaling

Biochemical signaling is the process by which cells communicate with each other using molecules. When one cell releases signaling molecules, like hormones or neurotransmitters, those molecules travel to other cells and bind to specific receptors on their surfaces. This binding triggers various responses, such as growth, immune responses, or changes in metabolism. Essentially, biochemical signaling helps regulate important functions in the body, ensuring that cells work together efficiently, much like how a conductor guides an orchestra to create harmonious music.
