Retrograde signaling

Definition: One of the responses of the ECS, acting as brakes on most of the organ systems in the body. Retrgrade signalling is a form of intracellular communication that inhibits immune response, reduces inflammation, relaxes musculature, lowers blood pressure, dilates bronchial passages, and normalizes overstimulated nerves. Retrograde signaling serves as an inhibitory feedback mechanism that tells other neurotransmitters to quiet when they are firing too fast.
