HISTOLOGY

DESCRIPTION

FUNCTION/S

Relatively large, usually round or

spherical which occupies the central
region of the cell

Store the cells DNA and control all the

activities of the cell through regulating
gene expression

Porous double membrane that separates

the nuclear contents from cytoplasm

Maintains the integrity of the nucleus and

control the passage of materials
between the nucleus and cytoplasm

Dense, nonmembranous body composed

of protein and RNA molecules

Synthesize ribosomal subunits

Fibers composed of protein and DNA

Carries information for synthesizing

proteins

Thin, semi-permeable membrane that

surrounds the cytoplasm of the cell
Elastic and somewhat flexible

Tiny, spherical structures composed of

protein and RNA
Forms a system of interconnecting
tubules, vesicles and flattened sacs with

Maintains cellular integrity

Selectively permeable
Provides attachment for cytoskeleton
Receives and sends out stimuli
Provides binding sites and receptors for
enzymes and other substances
Allows cell to cell recognition
Site of protein synthesis

Site of protein synthesis

PART OF THE CELL
Golgi apparatus

Secretory vesicle

Lysosome

Mitochondrion
Microtubule

Centrioles

Centrosome
Cilia
Flagella
Microvilli

numerous ribosomes attached

Forms a system of interconnecting
tubules, vesicles and flattened sacs with
no ribosomes attached
DESCRIPTION
Smooth-surfaced, membrane-bound and
flattened tubes layer
Membranous sacs that vary in size and
content
Usually round or ovoid bodies but the size
and shape can vary depending on cell
type
Membrane bound that contains
hydrolases
Often hotdog-shaped but can alter to a
rod-like, filamentous and spherical shape
Thick, hollow tubules that are about 25
nm in diameter
Small, cylindrical structure composed of
groupings of microtubules
Non-membranous structure composed of
two-rod like centrioles
Motile projections attached to basal
bodies beneath the cell membrane
Motile projections attached to basal
bodies beneath the cell membrane
Small, fingerlike structures projecting
from the surface of certain cells
Small spherical bodies present in almost

Site of lipid synthesis

Participates in detoxification
FUNCTION/S
Modifies protein structure and packages
proteins in secretory vesicles
Contains materials produced in the cell
Formed by the Golgi apparatus and
secreted by exocytosis
Contains enzymes that digest particulate
material taken into the cell or unneeded
cell organelle
Play an important role in the structural
reorganization within the cell
Generate most of the energy needed for
cell metabolic processes.
Supports cytoplasm
Assists in cell division and forms
components of cilia and flagella
Facilitate the movement of chromosomes
during cell division
Helps distribute chromosome to new cells
during cell division
Initiate formation of cilia
Moves substances over surfaces of
certain cells
Proper sperm cells
Increase surface area of certain cells
Involved in metabolic reactions such as
release and decomposition of Hydrogen

Peroxisomes

all cells; Membrane bound that contains

oxidases and catalase

peroxide
Utilized by phagocytes in destroying
invading microorganisms
