Endoplasmic Reticulum (Structure and Function)

Endoplasmic Reticulum (Structure and Function).

Endoplasmic reticulum

Endoplasmic reticulum

 It is a network of channels present throughout the cell most of these channels are continuous with the plasma membrane toward the outer side on their inner side.
They are in contact with the nuclear membrane.
 The entire system of channel is called endoplasmic reticulum.

 Morphologically  Endoplasmic reticulum occurs in three forms.

1. Cisternae:
 The channels of Endoplasmic Reticulum are composed of spherical or tubular membranes are called cisternae. (pancreas, notochord,brain).

 2. Vesicles
the vesicle are oval membrane-bounded vascular structure having the diameter of 25 to 500 micrometre.

 3.Tubules
The tubules are branched structure forming the reticular system along with the cisternae and vesicle.

Types of Endoplasmic Reticulum:

 There are two types 
1. Granular or rough endoplasmic reticulum.
  
Ribosomes are attached with the Rough Endoplasmic reticulum. Rough endoplasmic reticulum founds abundantly in those which are active in protein synthesis.
Such as pancreatic cell, plasma cell, Goblet cell and liver cells.

2. Agranular or smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

 These are without ribosomes.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum occurs mostly in those cells which are involved in the metabolism of lipids (including steroids) and glycogen.
 The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is generally found in interstitial cells, glycogen storage cell of the liver, conduction fibres of heart, spermatocytes and leukocytes.
 The muscle cells are also rich with smooth type of Endoplasmic Reticulum and here they are known as sarcoplasmic reticulum.

 Function of Endoplasmic Reticulum


1. Endoplasmic reticulum provides mechanical support to the cell.
2. The SER  is also involved in the metabolism of lipids.
3. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum detoxifies the harmful drugs and toxic material.
 4. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum converts the cholesterol of skin into Vitamin D.
 5. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has enzyme for glycogen breakdown.
6. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of protein.
7. some compounds like proteins are stored temporary in the endoplasmic reticulum.
8. In some cells smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for transmission of impulse ( muscle cell and nerve cell).

Neurotransmitters and receptors

Neurotransmitters and receptors Did you know there are billions of neurons—and trillions of synapses—in your amazing brain? ^1 1 start superscript, 1, end superscript  (No wonder you can learn anything, including neurobiology!) Most of your synapses are  chemical synapses , meaning that information is carried by chemical messengers from one neuron to the next. In the article on synapses, we discussed how synaptic transmission works. Here, we’ll focus on  neurotransmitters , the chemical messengers released from neurons at synapses so that they can “talk” to neighboring cells. We’ll also look at the receptor proteins that let the target cell “hear” the message. Neurotransmitters: Conventional and unconventional There are many different kinds of neurotransmitters, and new ones are still being discovered! Over the years, the very idea of what makes something a neurotransmitter has changed and broadened. Because the definition has expanded, some recently discovered n

The Importance of Animal Physiology

The Importance of  Animal Physiology Why is the study of animal physiology important to you and to people in general? Not the least of the reasons is the one we have already emphasized—namely, that a full understanding and appreciation of all the marvels and other phenomena of the animal world depends on an analysis of how animals work. The study of physiology draws us beyond surface impressions into the inner workings of animals, and nearly always this venture is not only a voyage of discovery, but also one of revelation. The study of physiology also has enormous practical applications because physiology is a principal discipline in the understanding of health and disease. The analysis of many human diseases—ranging from aching joints to heart failure—depends on understanding how the “human machine” works. A physician who studies heart disease, for instance, needs to know the forces that make blood flow into the heart chambers between one heartbeat and the next. The physician also

What are chromosomes?

Image
Chromosome Chromosome During cell division the chromatin material change into thread like structure called chromosome. Chromosomes are also called physical basis of hereditary. On the chromosomes small bodies are located call genes. There are thousands of genes are present in an organisms.Genes are the unit of heredity. These genes contain hereditary character which are transfered from one generation to another by the help of chromosomes. Chromosomes were discovered by a biologist waldyer in 1876. After that in  1908 Sutton identified the function of chromosomes,that they take part in the transfer of hereditary characters.      ( Next post will be about Structure of chromosomes)
