How Cells Phone a Friend: Long Distance Communication


Listen Later

How do cells communicate with each other? With trillions of cells in the human body, seamless collaboration is essential within this intricate cellular society. Cells work together to form organs, and when one organ needs another to perform a task, they send signals across distances—much like picking up the phone and calling someone.

📞 Eyes: Hey, Brain? This is Eyes. We’re reading this post about how organs communicate, and it’s really interesting.

📞 Eyes: Apparently, organs send signals to each other to get stuff done. Like, the liver calls the stomach when it’s time to detox!

📞 Brain: Whoa, I had no idea they were so organized! Keep reading, I need all the details!

📞 Brain: Alright, I’m sold! I'm signaling to press play.
