ANAT 205 Study Guide - Final Guide: Golgi Apparatus, Intermediate Filament, Hydrogen Peroxide
Document Summary
Site for lipid synthesis and participates in detoxification of chemicals within cells. Collects, modifies, packages, and distributes proteins/lipids made by er. Packaged into membrane sacs (secretory vesicle) and pinch off from margins of golgi apparatus. Most highly developed in cells that secrete protein (e. g. salivary glands, pancreas) Peroxisomes: smaller than lysosome and more irregularly shaped; contains enzymes that decompose/synthesize. Also breaks down fatty acids and amino acids! Cells active in detoxification (liver, kidney cells) have many peroxisomes. Cells w/ large energy requirements have more mitochondria. E. g. cells that carry out extensive active transport. When muscles grow due to exercise, # of mitochondria increases and provide the additional. Supports changes) the cell; involved in cell movement (shape. Components of certain cell organelles, like cilia and flagella.
