APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.

Detailed explanation-2: -Containing acid and several types of digestive enzymes, lysosomes digest unwanted organelles in a process termed autophagy, from the Greek words for “self” and “eat.” The multipurpose lysosome also processes proteins, bacteria and other “food” the cell has engulfed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main function of lysosomes is the digestion of internal (non-functional cell organelles) and external (food, bacteria, leukocytes, debris) material. The processed material is either released to the cytoplasm, secreted, or stored in lysosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Intracellular digestion: The word lysosome is derived from (lyso lytic or digestive; and soma body) thus helping in digestion. Removal of dead cells: Role in metamorphosis: Help in protein synthesis: Help in fertilization: Role in osteogenesis: Malfunctioning of lysosomes: Autolysis in cartilage and bone tissue:
