The lacunae of osseous tissue contain?
The lacunae of osseous tissue contain osteocytes, which are mature bone cells that maintain the bone tissue. These cells are embedded within the mineralized matrix of the bone and are connected to each other and to the blood supply through tiny channels called canaliculi. Osteocytes play a key role in bone remodeling and responding to mechanical stresses placed on the bone.
Is a monocyte granular or agranular?
Monocytes are agranular leukocytes, meaning they do not contain granules in their cytoplasm.
What contain cells that are greatly swollen and have nuclei that is pushed to the sides of the cell?
Cells that are greatly swollen and have nuclei that are pushed to the sides of the cell are typically indicative of conditions like viral infections or inflammatory reactions. This swelling, known as cytoplasmic vacuolization, can be a response to the cell trying to protect itself from damage. The displacement of the nucleus to the side is a result of the increased cytoplasmic volume due to swelling.
Do mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ribosomes?
Yes, both mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ribosomes. These organelles have their own ribosomes and can synthesize some of their own proteins independently of the cell's cytoplasmic ribosomes.
Axons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as?
Axon terminals, also known as synaptic boutons or end bulbs, are the fine extensions at the end of an axon that transmit signals to other neurons or effector cells. These terminals contain neurotransmitters that are released into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the target cell.
