Abstract
Receptor mediated phenomena can be subdivided into categories based upon the chemical nature of ligand or receptor, the cellular location of functional receptor sites, and the mechanisms of transduction of ligand-receptor interactions into cellular responses. These classifications reflect the very broad range of receptor systems which may share only one quality: specificity. A principle value of the classifications is their utility as mental frameworks with which to approach the analysis of specific interactions in biological systems. At present, neuron-glial cell interactions are understood so fragmentarily that a major effort is needed to determine which elements of the interactions show specificity.
