Foundations:
The Cell
• Cytology
– Study of cells
• Common techniques used:
– Light microscopy (LM)
– Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
– Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
• Light Microscopy
– Magnification up to 1000 times
– Sometimes 2000 maximum
• Transmission Electron Microscopy
– Magnifies more than light microscopy
• Scanning Electron Microscopy
– Shows three-dimensional images

– Phagocytosis: “cell eating”
– Pinocytosis: “cell drinking”
– Receptor-mediated endocytosis:
• Ligands will bind specific molecules to the receptors
thereby allowing only specific molecules to enter the

This diagram shows the functional link between the
ER and the Golgi apparatus. Golgi structure has been
simplified to clarify the relationships between the
membranes. Transport vesicles carry the secretory
product from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi
apparatus, and transfer vesicles move membrane
and materials between the Golgi cisternae. At the Forming
maturing face, three functional categories of vesicles (cis) face
develop. Secretory vesicles carry the secretion from Transport
the Golgi to the cell surface, where exocytosis vesicle
releases the contents into the extracellular fluid.
Other vesicles add surface area and integral proteins
to the plasmalemma. Lysosomes, which remain in
the cytoplasm, are vesicles filled with enzymes.

occurs, nutrients
are reabsorbed for

Function 3: The lysosomal
membrane breaks down
following injury to, or death
of, the cell. The digestive
enzymes then attack the
Golgi cytoplasm in a destructive
apparatus process known as
autolysis. For this reason
lysosomes are sometimes
called “suicide packets.”
• Membrane flow
– This is the continuous movement and recycling of
the cell membrane
• Transport vesicles connect the endoplasmic reticulum
with the Golgi apparatus
• Secretory vesicles connect the Golgi apparatus with the
plasmalemma
