Ion sequestration: skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum , ca++ and muscle contraction, rough er, flattened morphology, rough -membrane bound ribosomes, producing proteins designated for plasma membrane, know the diff b/w endo-, exo- and transcytosis. What is it made of: gives overall appearance of tissues. Determines shape of the cell: supports organelles and membranes, microfilaments (smallest) Intermediate filaments: microtubules (largest, differ in structure function and features, compare and contrast the different cytoskeletal elements, microfilaments, consist of protein actin, 6 nm x 1-2 um, support or movement, occurs in cytoplasm, microvilli. This allows it to adapt to the bladder becoming filled/emptied and becoming bigger/smaller: compare and contrast the three functional types of cellular junctions. What do they do primarily: fibroblasts- synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen, the structural framework for tissues, plays a role in healing, fibers, grouped in bundles dense connective tissue.
