Study Notes

Centrioles

  • Non-membranous organelles
  • Composed of highly organized microtubules
  • Appear as two dark bodies near the nucleus when stained with iron hematoxylin

Cytoplasmic Inclusions

  • Temporary, nonliving, and nonessential metabolically inactive materials in the cytoplasm
  • Stored food
    • Carbohydrates
      • Stored in the liver and muscle as glycogen
      • Appear as light areas formed of nucleolar sap

Cell Renewal

  • Most mature specialized cells are not in the active cell cycle (mitosis-interphase-mitosis)
  • Energy is stored as ATP molecules through oxidative phosphorylation

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (rER)

  • Membranous organelle responsible for protein synthesis
  • Present mainly in protein-secreting cells
  • Hydrolytic enzymes are synthesized in the rER, transferred to the Golgi apparatus, and released as primary lysosomes
  • Cannot be seen with light microscopy, but the acid phosphatase enzyme inside the lysosome can be detected by histochemical reactions
