The majority of cytoplasmic organelles were related to smooth and
rough endoplasmic reticulum represented the cytoplasm activities (Fig.
(b) Higher magnification shows plasma membrane border separating two tumor cells (arrowheads), nucleus (n), abundant mitochondria (m), dense cytoplasmic vesicles (arrows), and patches of
rough endoplasmic reticulum (rer).
Rough endoplasmic reticulum is not evenly distributed, only limited and appears as relatively short strand located close to the nucleus and among groups of mitochondria (Fig.
It is possible to observe that the materials in spherocrystals accumulate in concentric layers; spherocrystals are enclosed by a membrane and are in close contact with the
rough endoplasmic reticulum (Figure 3D).
The cytoplasm contains numerous mitochondria, smooth and
rough endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, microtubules, ribosomes, and dense tubules (Figs.
Some degenerating cells had apoptotic nucleus with disrupted plasma membrane, distorted
rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.
B: Mitochondrial swelling and degranulation of
rough endoplasmic reticulum in the prostate cells from the dogs in the G3 group (arrow, x10000).
Common findings were dilated stacks of
rough endoplasmic reticulum, polyribosomes, randomly distributed intermediate filaments, and rare collagen secretion granules (Fig 5).
The presence of nucleus (N), nucleolus (Nu), ribosomes (R), cisterns of the
rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), mitochondria (Mt), among other normal cytoplasmic elements could be observed which are part of the hypothalamic nervous cells.
These cells increase their size becoming columnar and present clusters of round mitochondria and abundant
rough endoplasmic reticulum (Fig.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum is scarce, but the cytoplasm is rich in mitochondria and disperse glycogen granules.
