"Target cell" is the cell that receives the communication from another cell.
Step-by-step explanation:
The process of signaling is component of communication mechanism that regulates the fundamental cell functions and guides multi-cell behavior. Cells' capacity to perceive and react to their microenvironment accurately is the foundation for growth, tissue repair, and resistance, as well as ordinary homeostasis of the tissue.
The receptor is in cell named as target cell, which is capable of binding the ligand. The ligand attaches to the receptor and triggers a signaling cascade within the cell which results in a response. Once a signaling agent attaches to its receptor, it changes the receptor's design or function and induces a shift within the cell.
