Cell
•
• Mitochondria- site of aerobic cellular respiration;w/ cristae and matrix
• Lysosomes- capable of autophagocytosis and autolysis
• Centriole-w/ tubulin; for growth of mitotic spindle and microtubule
formation
• Cytoskeleton- maintains shape;general organization of cell;
movement(aflagellar)
• Cilia-moves fluid over cell surface
• Flagella- cell locomotion
• Vault
TISSUES
*Components
1. CELLS
*Mesenchyme
• Fibroblasts
• Macrophages( developed from Monocytes)- Alveolar(DustCells); Kupffer cells;
Langerhan cells, Microglia; Osteoclast; Mesangial;Reticular interdigitating cells;
Hofbauer cells
• Mast Cells- contain heparin, histamine and serotonin
• Adipocytes
• Blood Cells – RBC; WBC (Granulocytes: Neutrophils, Eosinophils,
Basophils) Agranulocytes (Monocytes and Lymphocytes)
