What is the name of the side of the plasma membrane facing the ECM/Cytosol?
Definition

E-Face- Extracellular Side

P-Face- Cytoplasmic Side (Protoplasm)

Term

What type of secretion is this cell exhibiting?
Definition
Regulated- Vessicles build up till signal is given to exocytize 
Term

What type of secretion is this cell exhibiting?
Definition
Constitutive- vessicles exocytise as they are made.
Term

What type of cell is this?
What is it's primary function?
Definition
Macrophage- "big eater" involved in phagocytosis
Term

What type of microscopy is this?
What is the correct term for light and dark areas?
What ARE the light and dark areas excluding the nucleolus?
Definition

TEM

Electron lucent

Electron Dense

Euchromatin- Active transcription (DNA uncoiled) more electron lucent

Heterochromatin- Inactive (DNA coiled), more electron dense
