Document Summary

Transport vesicles- the shuttles, formed by budding from a membrane compartment, that carry materials between organelles. The alternative term secretory pathway has been used because many of the materials synthesized in the pathway are destined to be discharged (secreted) outside the cell. Constitutive secretion- materials are transported in secretory vesicles from their sites of synthesis and discharged into the extracellular space in a continual manner. Regulated secretion- materials are stored as membrane-bound packages and discharged only in response to an appropriate stimulus. Secretory granules- large, densely packed, membrane-bound structure containing highly concentrated secretory materials that are discharged into the extracellular space (secreted) following a stimulatory signal. Endocytic pathway- materials move from the outer surface of the cell to compartments, such as endosomes and lysosomes, located within the cytoplasm. Autoradiography- a technique for visualizing biochemical processes by allowing an investigator to determine the location of radioactively labeled material within a cell.
