Histology Flashcards
golgi apparatus function
transports vesicles of SER modifies secretions of SER
microfilaments composition and function
globular actin to form filamentous structure
move intracellular components
intermediate filaments function
structural integrity
microtubules - components
alpha and beta tubulin dimers
originate from centreosomes
function of dyenin and kinesin
- ATPase - moves to centre of cell
2. ATPase moves to cell periphery
RER or SER?
protein synthesis and glycoprotein formation
RER
RER or SER?
processes other’s products
lipid synthesis
SER
3 intracellular joints
occluding/tight
anchoring/desmosomes
communicating/gap
tight junctions
prevent diffusion
block out water and ions
e.g. in bladder, kidneys
desmosomes/anchoring junctions
give mechanical strength
submembrane attachments
cadherin + desmosomes
e.g. skin, intestines
gap junctions
molecule movement between cells
circular patch studded with pores
e.g. electrical coupling cells - cardiac cells, ICCs, neurons
H+E stain
h = purple basic stain e = pink acidic stain
