(mucus, cells, debris)
Hair like and motile. Think trachea- coughing up stuff (propelling fluids)
Flagellum
Enales sperm to move
Function: Ribosome
Particles that make protien
Function: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synthesizes protein for secretion
Function: Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Synthesizes lipids
Function: Golgi Apparatus
Modifies, packages, and sorts newly synthesized proteins
Function: Lysosome
Digests macromolecules
Function: Peroxisome
Breakdown of fatty acids
