cell part 2 Flashcards
PARTS OF THE CELL
CELL MEMBRANE
CYTOPLASM
NUCLEUS
What’s in the cytoplasm?
Organelles
Cytosol
(Inclusion Bodies)
separates the interior and exterior environments of the cell
CELL MEMBRANE
is enclosed by the cell membrane components
CYTOPLASM
solid structures/ portions inside the cell
Organelles
liquid portion containing the organelles
Cytosol
not usually surrounded by plasma membrane contents are divers
Inclusion Bodies
largest organelle
not always circular/spherical in shape
NUCLEUS
LOCATION of NUCLEUS
Central or often Eccentric in some cells
accumulate fats, pushing the nucleus and other organelles to the periphery, compressing the nucleus and making the cell resemble a “signet ring”
Adipose cells
circular structure found inside the Nucleus
Nucleolus
- Most commonly stains used in histology
Hematoxylin and Eosin
Solid structures that do not perform specific function
INCLUSION BODIES
May or may not be present in the cell; often mistaken as organelles
INCLUSION BODIES
Most are stored nutrients or deposited waste product
INCLUSION BODIES
INCLUSION BODIES
Lipofuscin
Glycogen
Hemosiderin
Lipids/Fat globules
Melanin
When lipids and proteins inside the cells are oxidized, digested by the lysosome, solid waste products remains as
Lipofuscin
Yellow-brown pigment composed of residues of lysosomal digestion/cellular senescence (aging), thus also called “Wear and tear” pigment
Lipofuscin
Accumulates through the years
The older the cell the higher the content of lipofuscin.
Lipofuscin
if the cell with lipofuscin will undergo ____, the daughter cells will not contain any lipofuscin.
mitosis
Post-mitotic cells, or cells that do not divide or stopped dividing obviously contains a lot of accumulated lipofuscin.
Give 3 examples:
Neurons
Cardiac Muscles
Skeletal Muscles
Short-term storage form of glucose
Glycogen
Glycogen is stored in
(striated) skeletal muscles and liver
True oor False | Glycogen iis stained with H & E
False, it is stained with PAS - periodic acid schiff
Which inclusion body needs a special stain?
Glycogen - periodic acid schiff (imparts RED color to glycogen) seen using the light microscope
Iron-storage complex found within the cytoplasm of many cells.
Hemosiderin
Breakdown product of hemoglobin
Hemosiderin
Whenever red cells are destroyed, they release hemoglobin and it will be digested and become indigestible residue
Hemosiderin
