PRESENTATION OUTLINE

CELLULAR STRUCTURES

BY JACKSON JAMES 1st Period A&P

Rough ER

  • Is responsible for many of the production of proteins due to the ribosomes located on the surface

Smooth ER

  • manufacture of lipids and in some cases to the metabolism of them and associated products.

Golgi Apparatus

  • It stores and delivers many different proteins and lipids delivered from the Rough and Smooth ERs.

Plasma/Cell Membrane

  • The plasma membrane not only defines the borders of the cell, but also allows the cell to interact with its environment in a controlled way.

Mitochondrian

  • Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Ribosomes

  • A ribosome is basically a very complicated but elegant micro-‘machine’ for producing proteins.

Lysosome

  • Lysosomes break down cellular waste products, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and other macromolecules into simple compounds

Cytosol

  • Cytosol is the intra-cellular fluid that is present inside the cells.

Centrioles

  • a granular mass that serves as an organizing center for microtubules.

Microvilli

  • The microscopic microvilli effectively increase the surface area of the cell and are useful for absorption and secretion functions.

Microfilaments

  • In association with myosin, microfilaments help to generate the forces used in cellular contraction and basic cell movements.

Microtubules

  • Microtubules are involved in nucleic and cell division

Peroxisome

  • Peroxisomes contain a variety of enzymes, which primarily function together to rid the cell of toxic substances.

Nuclear Envelope

  • The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus with a double membrane with multiple pores to let in and out strands of DNA and RNA.

Nucleus

  • The nucleus is a highly specialized organelle that serves as the information processing and administrative center of the cell.

Nucleolus

  • It is the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription, pre-rRNA processing and ribosome subunit assembly

Intermediate Filaments

  • Intermediate filaments are a very broad class of fibrous proteins that play an important role as both structural and functional elements of the cytoskeleton.
