Course learning outcomes
After studying this course, you should be able to:
- Define and use each of the terms printed in bold in the text
- Describe the characteristics of different intracellular compartments with respect to their structure, location and composition within a mammalian cell
- Describe the traffic pathways between the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, the endosomal compartments, and the basolateral and apical regions of the plasma membrane
- Give examples of regulated and unregulated secretion, the mechanisms controlling the processes, and their functional significance
- Give examples of endocytosis, the mechanisms involved and their functional significance.
