microvilli, terminal web, contractile ring

____is a type of filament that is also called thick filaments and is present in all cells but is best developed in muscle where it is involved in contraction.

myosin filaments

____ is a heterogenous calss of filaments especially important in cell support and shape (present in adhereing type of cell jucntions). *also can be used to find the source of cancer*

intermediate filaments

Microtubles are made up of what? and what are the four types of microtubules?

tubulin, centriole, mitotic spindle, cilia and flagella

___ is a small organelle composed of 9 sets of triplet microtubules in bundles, 2 per cell, acts as a microtubules organization center for the assembly of the mitotic spindle.

centrioles

collection of microtubules that attach to the chromosomes during mitosis?

mitotic spindle

___ is a 9 sets of doublet microtubules plus a central doublet extending through the shaft



____similar to a centriole but at the base of each cilium

axoneme, basal bodies

what is responsible for the acidophilia of the cytoplasm?

mitochondria

where are ribosomes made? are the basophilic or acidophilic

in the nucleolus , basophilic

what type of ER synthesizes secretory proteins, lysosomal protiens, and integral proteins? which ER contains enzymes for the synthesis of lipids and cholesterol derived compounds?

RER, smooth ER

Why is the RER basophilic? is Smooth ER basophilic or acidophilic?

B/c of the attached ribosomes, acidophilic

What are key functions of the Golgi apparatus?

chemical modification, packaging and distribution of secretory enzymes and hydrolytic enzymes, and recycling and distribution of various kinds of membrane

describe the steps that involved in the synthesis and secretion of proteins?

1. mRNA goes to RER


2. assembly of amino acids (from the ribosomes of the RER) onto proteins


3.Transfer vesicles leave the RER and fuse with the Golgi apparatus


4. packaged and wrapped into secretory vesicles by golgi (they leave the golgi)


5. exocytosis (vesicles fuse with membrane)

t or f: lysosomes can destroy material inside and outside the cell

true


*only a few cells like osteocalsts and eosinophils can kill material outside the cell). every cell can destroy material inside the cell*

the term that describes the breakdown of materials brought into the cell by phagocytosis. they are brought into the cell, segregated within a membrane, fused with a primary lysosome and then destroyed.

heterophagy

term that describes the breakdown of material normally found with in the cell. ex: old mitochondria, cytoskeleton, or RER. segragated within a membrane, fused with a primary lysosome and then destroyed.
