Cells must communicate so that they can exercise their
basic functions. This communication is called intracellular communication.
Intracellular communication allows the coordinated functioning of cells within a tissue, between various tissues and organs and the organism as a whole.
A cell that tries to maintain its homeostasis is not an example of intracellular communication, but this type of communication occurs in:
A nerve cell stimulates a muscle cell to contract.
A signal is translated to cause muscle contraction.
