Guide Questions:

1. Name the organelles of an animal cell that are absent in a plant cell.
Lysosomes, centrosomes/centrioles, cilia, and desmosomes.

2. What is the function of flagellum in a mature spermatozoa?

The sperm used the flagellum to move towards the egg cell.

3. Give the reason/s why warm distilled water and slide are used during semen wet
mount preparation.

Temperature is critical. In tap and distilled water, sperm cells can be found after a longer
period of time than in sea and fresh water. If you put sperm in a hot water, the temperature
would kill the sperm in seconds.

4. Identify the location and major function of each of these cells:

a) Astrocyte

Found in central nervous system, perform a number of functions, including axon

guidance and synaptic support, as well as blood brain barrier and blood flow
regulation.

b) Schwann Cell
The myelin sheath is formed by glial cells in the peripheral nervous system
wrapping around the axons of motor and sensory neurons. I
c) Oligodendrocyte

Located in central nervous system. Invertebrates and vertebrates have a form of

neuroglia that produces myelin, an insulating covering on the axons of nerve
fibres.

d) Ependymal Cell
Develop from radial glia along the surface of the ventricles of the brain and the
spinal canal. The cerebrospinal fluid that fills the ventricles of the central
nervous system is secreted, circulated, and maintained in equilibrium by this
organ.

 e) Microglia

Located throughout the brain and spinal cord. Regulate brain development,
maintenance of neuronal networks, and injury repai

f) Satellite Cell

Located in the ganglia of the peripheral nervous system. Satellite cells were
mononucleated cells jammed between the muscle fiber's basement membrane
and plasma membrane. They function as stem cells and are in charge of skeletal
muscle growth and development.
