Epithelium: Review

Reviewing what you have learned in the first labs be sure that you know the structural characteristics and functional significance of the following organelles and inclusions, and be able to identify them in light and/or electron micrographs:

  • Nucleus,
  • Nucleolus,
  • Mitochondria,
  • Golgi apparatus,
  • Lysosomes,
  • Ribosomes,
  • Endoplasmic reticulum (two types),
  • Microtubules,
  • Cilia,
  • Microvilli.

Electron Micrographs

Examine the electron micrographs in the lab so that you understand the ultrastructural equivalents of the structures you have seen under the microscope.
