Intracellular particles
146
Extracellular large particles such as bacteria, cell debris, and other foreign materials are engulfed in the process of

147
Extracellular small particles such as extracellular proteins, plasma-membrane proteins, and ligand– receptor complexes are internalized by
pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis
148
Intracellular particles such as entire organelles, cytoplasmic proteins, and other cellular components are isolated from the cytoplasmic matrix by endoplasmic reticulum membranes, transported to lysosomes, and degraded by
autophagy
149
is a process in which the cell uses lysosomes to dispose of excess or nonfunctioning organelles or membranes. Membrane that appears to emerge from the SER encloses the organelles to be destroyed, forming an autophagosome that then fuses with a lysosome for digestion of the contents.
Autophagy
150
3 WELL-CHARACTERIZED PATHWAYS OF
AUTOPHAGY:
Macroautophagy
Microautophagy
Chaperone-mediated autophagy
151
A portion of the cytoplasm or an entire
organelle is first surrounded by the isolation
membrane of endoplasmic reticulum, to
form a vacuole called an autophagosome
which matures into lysosomes.
Macroautophagy
152
which fuses with a lysosome for digestion of the enclosed material
Autophagosome
153
Cytoplasmic proteins are degraded in a

deprivation and responsible for the
degradation of approximately 30% of
cytoplasmic proteins in organs such as
the liver and kidney

mitotic cyclins that regulate cell cycle
progression, transcriptional factors, tumor
suppressors, or tumor promoters

Proteasome-mediated degradation.
164
Ubiquitin in the presence of ATP is activated by a complex of three ubiquitin-activating enzymes _________________ to form a single polyubiquitin chain that serves as the degradation signal for the 26S proteasome complex.
E1, E2, and E3
165
Loss of proteasome function because of
mutations in the system of ubiquitin activating enzymes that leads to a decrease in protein degradation and their subsequent
accumulation in the cell cytoplasm

MICROTUBULES, fine tubular structures also organized into large arrays called ________ in the cilia and flagella
axonemes
217
MICROTUBULES are polymeric structures composed of equal parts of
alphatubulin and beta- tubulin
218
CYTOSKELETON is composed of
MICROTUBULES
MICROFILAMENTS
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
219
Functions of microtubules
Intracellular vesicular transport
Movement of cilia and flagella
Attachment of chromosome to the mitotic
spindle
Cell elongation and movement
Maintenance of cell shape
220
composed of actin
allow cellular motility and most contractile activity in cells
MICROFILAMENTS
221
MICROFILAMENTS function
Anchorage and movement of membrane protein
Formation of the structural core of microvilli
Locomotion of cells
Extension of cell processes (e.g., pseudopodia during phagocytosis)
222
rope-like filaments, intermediate in size between
microtubules and microfilament
Diameter: averaging 10 nm
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
223
Six major classes of intermediate filaments
1. Keratin
2. Vimentin
3. Neurofilament
4. Lamins
5. Desmin
6. Glial filaments
224
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
present only in epithelial cells
Keratin
225
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
found in most cells derived from
mesenchyme
Vimentin
226
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
present in cell body and processes of
neurons
Neurofilament
227
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
form the nuclear lamina inside the nuclear
envelope
Lamins
228
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
found in almost all muscle cells
Desmin
229
INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS
Glial Fibrillary Acidic Proeteins (GFAP),
present in glial cells
Glial filaments
230
have little or no metabolic activity, but contain accumulated metabolites or other substances not enclosed by membrane
o Fat droplets
o Glycogen granules
o Lipofuscin
o Hemosiderin
CYTOPLASMIC INCLUSIONS
231
CYTOPLASMIC INCLUSIONS include
Centrosome
Centrioles
Flagella
Cilia
232
centrosphere or cell center
specialized zone of the cytoplasm containing the
centrioles
center of activity associated with cell division
called diplosome in nondividing cells
EM: hollow cylinder closed at one end and open at the other
Centrosome
233
self-duplicating organelles that exhibit
continuity from one cell generation to another
Double in number immediately before cell division
Prominent in mitosis
Essential for the formation of cilia and flagella
Serve as basal bodies and sites of epithelial cilia
Centrioles
234
long, semi-rigid, helical, hollow tubular structures mostly composed of protein, flagellin
Show undulating wave (moving smoothly up and down) type of movement
Flagella
235
Hair-like processes
Very numerous in:
– Epithelial cells of upper RT
– Parts of female and reproductive tracts
– Ependymal lining the cavities of the CNS
Cilia
