25
The outer leaflets of the cell membrane is covered externally by a fuzzy glycoprotein a polysaccharide material they secrete called
cell coat or glycocalyx
26
This layer acts as an ion trap, and helps the cells maintain normal internal levels of ions;
cell coat
27
it also serves a protective function physically (resistant to ersion) and antigenic functions
cell coat
28
e some degree of enzymatic activity and actually participates in digestion in the intestine
cell coat
29
involved in glycogen and lipid synthesis and transport, biotransformation, and ion storage and transport.
smooth er
30
a special SER of muscle cells used for calcium ion sequestration and subsequent transport
sarcoplasmic reticulum
31
an extensive network of hollow cisterns (membranous tubules) with attached ribosomes that connect with the outer layer of the nuclear membrane
rough er
32
e small RNA-containg dense granule that occurs freely in the cytoplasm or is attached to the RER.
ribosomes
33
. Free ribosomes are scattered individually or in group called
polysomes
34
s composed of an array of flattened discoid lamellae (5-10).
golgi apparatus
35
36
which is less extensive in endoplasmic reticulum
smooth
37
composed of fragmented membranous tubules
smooth er
38
what processes occurs in the smooth er
fatty acid resynthesis and transport to cell borders steroid hormone and lipoprotein synthesis sarcoplasmic reticulum
39
a special smooth er of muscle cells for calcium ion sequestration and subsequent transport
sarcoplasmic reticulum
40
cells that have high secretory activity of protein
neurons and pancreatic acinar cells which secretes digestive enzymes
41
the forming face of the golgi apparatus in which proteins to be packaged or modified brought by transfer vesicles are attached
convex outer face
42
maturing face of the golgi apparatus in ehich secretory vesicles with the modified product are pinched off
concave inner face
43
participates kn the dynamic turnover of cell membrane, concentrates and packages secretory products, synthesizes polysaccharides, repository of vit c and produces lysosomes
golgi apparatus
44
a very small organelle. only about . 1-.2 mm in diameter
mitochondrion
45
shaped like a boat, with a smooth outer membrane and folded inner membrane
mitochondrion
46
the inner folded membrane of mitochondria is also called as the
cristae
47
it divides the mitochondrial granules, which is a condensed calcium ion
cristae
48
it contains enzymes for krebs cycle, citric acid cycle, ocidative phosphorylation, and fatty acid oxidation
mitochondria
49
these are light, ovoid membrane-bound vesicle containing enzymes called acid hydrolases
lysosome
50
what enzyme is in lysosome
acid hydrolases
51
responsible for the digestion of materials taken in by the cell, autolysis and post mortem degeneration of cells
lysosome
52
3 types of lysosome
phagolysosome or heterophagic vacuole muktivesicular vody autophagic vacuole
53

autophagic vacuole
57

58
packages secretpry vesicles and gives them off from its mature face
golgi
