Dictionary- Intro to Histology

 Histology is a science I am very excited to start learning about on a deeper level. Upon studying a came across a couple new words that I needed to reference to the book for in order to understand the context. Below are the new words I learned this week. 

1.      Cis-Golgi network: Cisternae closest to the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Trans-Golgi network: Cisternae away from the rough endoplasmic reticulum

Secretory vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum fuse with the cis-golgi network in order to modify and direct the proteins out through the trans-golgi network.

2.      Inclusions: Stored nutrients, secretory products, and pigment granules.

Our muscles are constantly demanding energy in the form of glucose, therefore glycogen inclusions are abundant in the cells of muscles.

3.      Necrosis: Wholesale unregulated cell death caused by lack of nutrients or infection.


Unlike apoptosis, necrosis tends to cause inflammation because of the release of intracellular contents. In apoptosis phagocytic cells quietly rid of cells that were programmed to die without inflammation.
