2. Smooth ER (SER)
SER continuous with RER, does not have attached ribosomes.
Smooth ER synthesizes the phospholipids that occur in membranes and has various other functions

3. other functions of SER depending on the particular cell.
SER in Testes is produce testosterone.
SER in liver is detoxified drugs, alcohol and toxin. Also have role in lipid and cholesterol synthesis. And glycogen breakdown.
SER in adrenal glands is produces steroid hormones
SER in muscle cells has role in contraction process (SER in muscle cells called sarcoplasmic reticulum).
SER Transport molecules to the Golgi body.
SER is metabolized lipid and cholesterol.

4. MEDICAL APPLICATION ON SER
Jaundice denotes a yellowish discoloration of the skin and is caused by accumulation in extracellular fluid of bilirubin and other pigmented compounds, which are normally metabolized by SER enzymes (UGT)in cells of the liver and excreted as bile.

6. A frequent cause of jaundice in newborn infants is an under developed state of SER in liver cells, with failure of bilirubin to be converted to a form that can be readily excreted.

7. Bilirubin is an orange-yellow part of bile
Bilirubin is an orange-yellow part of bile. Bile is the bright green fluid secreted by the liver to help digestion.
Bilirubin is mainly formed by the normal breakdown of haemoglobin (the protein in red blood cells that transport oxygen).
Bilirubin normally passes through the liver. It is then excreted as bile through the intestines.
When this process is interrupted, excess bilirubin stains other body tissues yellow. Fatty tissues like skin, eye tissue and blood vessels are most affected.

8. Golgi apparatus
Golgi apparatus is consists of a stack of slightly curved saccules with convex side as the cis face and mature concave side is the trans face that separated from ER.
Present in typical eukaryotic cells, highly developed in secretary cells.
In most cells, there is a polarity in the Golgi bodies.(most polar organelle)

9. Protein and lipid vesicle from ER fused with cis face of Golgi apparatus then subsequently progress through the stack to trans face of Golgi apparatus that contain cisternae enzyme.
Cisternae enzyme modify, sort and package proteins also add sugar to protein and lipid to form glycoproteins, glycolipids and lipoproteins. These molecules packaged in membrane for export outside of cell or for lysosomes.

11. Lysosomes
Lysosomes are membrane bounded organelles that contain about 40 different hydrolytic enzymes
produced by the Golgi apparatus.
Lysosomal hydrolases are synthesized and segregated in the RER and then transferred to the Golgi apparatus, where the enzymes are further modified and packaged in vacuoles that form lysosomes.

12. Lysosomes
Particularly abundant in cells with great phagocytic activity (eg, macrophages, neutrophils) because it digest any foreign substance by hydrolytic enzyme.
Have important role in post mortum autolysis.
Maintain cell health by remove all old endogenous macromolecules.

15. AUTOPHAGY
01/03/1439
Farah E. Ismaeel

16. Diseases categorized as lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) stem from defects in one or more of the digestive enzymes present in lysosomes.
In cells that must digest the substrate of the missing or defective enzyme following autophagocytosis, the lysosomes cannot function properly. Such cells accumulate large secondary lysosomes or residual bodies filled with the indigestible macromolecule. The accumulation of these vacuoles may eventually interfere with normal cell or tissue function, producing symptoms of the disease.

17. Mitochondria
Mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion) are membrane-bounded organelles
They are usually elongated structures.
They are highly plastic, rapidly changing shape, fusing with one another and dividing, and are moved through the cytoplasm along microtubules.

19. Mitochondria
The number of mitochondria in the cell is related to the cell’s energy needs:
cells with a high-energy metabolism (eg, cardiac muscle, liver cells and cells of some kidney tubules) have abundant mitochondria
cells with a low-energy metabolism have few mitochondria such as small lymphocyte

20. Mitochondria
Mitochondria are often called the powerhouses of the cell. Just as a powerhouse burns fuel to produce electricity, the mitochondria convert the chemical energy of glucose products into the chemical energy of ATP molecules. In the process, mitochondria use up oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. Therefore, the process of producing ATP is called cellular respiration.

21. The structure of mitochondria
each mitochondrion consists of :
Outer membrane: is smooth membrane surrounded that allows entry of molecules and contain enzyme involved in mitochondrial lipid synthesis.
Intermembrane space: Because of channels in the outer membrane of the mitochondria, the content of the intermembrane space is similar to that of the content of the cytoplasm.

22. The structure of mitochondria
Inner membrane: exhibit numerous folds called cristae which maximize internal surface area of mitochondria and contain most of the respiratory chain enzymes and ATP synthase which is responsible for cell respiration (oxidative phosphorylation) and production of cell ATP.
Shape of cristea different according type of cells; in protein secreting cells cristea project into the interior of the organelle like shelve. In steroid secreting cells such as the adrenal cortex or interstitial cells in the testes, the mitochondria cristea are tubular.

23. The structure of mitochondria
4. Mitochondrial matrix: the matrix is the space within the inner membrane; contain enzymes for Krebs cycle, mitochondrial DNA (circular DNA), special ribosome, tRNase and enzymes for gene expression.
Mitochondrial DNA is double stranded and has a circular structure very similar to bacterial chromosomes, mitochondrial DNA synthesis and duplication is independent of nuclear DNA replication.
Mitochondrial ribosome is smaller than cytosolic ribosome.
tRNases are enzymes that degraded the tRNA.

25. Mitochondria disorders
A maternally-inherited mutation in the mitochondrial genome is leading to defective synthesis of respiratory chain proteins which can produce structural abnormal in muscle fibers specially skeletal muscle fibers are very sensitive to mitochondrial defect (muscular dysfunction) and other cells. (This called mitochondrial disorders)

26. Replication of mitochondria
Mitochondria replicate similarly to bacterial cells, when they get large, they undergo fission. This involves furrowing of the inner and then the outer membrane as if someone was pinching the mitochondrion. The two daughter cells of the mitochondria must first replicate the DNA.

27. Function of mitochondria
Mitochondria are primary sites for ATP synthesis (site of Krebs cycle) from organic material so that known as powerhouse of the cell.
Cell respiration.
Maintain body heat because some energy dissipated as heat.
They have key role in apoptosis programmed cell death.
Some mitochondrial functions are performed only in specific types of cells, e.g. mitochondria in liver cells contain enzymes that allow them to detoxify ammonia, a waste product of protein metabolism.
