Term
Dark region in the center of the nucleus
Definition
nucleolus
Term
major component of fibrillar region of nucleolus
Definition
rRNA transcripts
Term
major component of granular region of nucleolus
Definition
ribosomes
Term
main visual difference bewteen sER and rER
Definition
sER is free of ribosomes. it may be attached to rER
Term
how to distinguish between cis and trans faces of Golgi apparatus
Definition
cis face is closer to the nucleus
Term
size of primary lysosomes
Definition
approx half the size of mitochondria
Term
key feature secondary lysosome
Definition
have large, dense clumps within them. secondary lysosomes can be the same size or larger than primary lysosomes
Term
secretory granules
Definition
usually round and darkly stained. they are typically clustered around the plasma membrane
Term
peroxisomes
Definition
approx half the size of mitochondria. generally paler than lysosomes and have a finer granularity (appear sandy)
Term
Golgi ghost
Definition
In H&E staining, region near the nucleus where the Golgi was that is less intensely basophilic because the rER was not there (rER void)
Term
lipid droplets on EM
Definition
Size varies greatly but are usually larger than mito. Altho they can appear dark, most are pale and have smoother appearance than peroxisomes. They take on unusual shapes to acommodate local structures
