Histology Methods and Cytology Flashcards
What is cytology?
the study of the structure and function of cells
What is cytopathology
the study of diseased cells
What is histology?
the study of diseased tissue
what types of microscopes allow the viewing of living specimans?
phase contrast
dissecting
fluorescence
what organelle is the most conspicuous organelle and is responsible for genome transcription?
the nucleus
what produced rRNA?
nucleolus
where is the site of protein synthesis?
rough ER
where is the side of lipid synthesis?
smooth ER
what organelle is responsible for intracellular digestion?
lysosome
what makes up genetic material?
chromatin
what connects the nucleus to the rough ER?
nuclear envelope
what synthesizes proteins?
ribosomes
what do proteosomes require to digest damaged proteins?
ubiquitin
this disperse, active chromatin stains light
euchromatin
this dense, inactive chromatin stains dark
heterochromatin
what allows RNA and proteins to enter the cytolplasm?
nuclear pores
what modifies and packages proteins?
gogli apparatus (body)
