| glycogen granule | Glycogen occurring in cells as beta granule's which average about 300 A |
|---|---|
| membrane-coating granule | A membrane-bound granule, 100 to 500 nm in diameter, located in the upper layers of the stratum spinosum of certain stratified squamous epithelia. Synonym: lamellar granule, membrane-coating granule, Odland body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granule | <pharmacology> A small quantity of a solid substance, smaller than a grain. Origin: L. Granulum (18 Nov 1997) |
| rod granule | The nucleus of a retinal cell connecting with one of the rods. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromatic granule | Any readily stainable granule, a granule of chromophil (Nissl) substance. Synonym: chromatic granule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromophil granule | Any readily stainable granule, a granule of chromophil (Nissl) substance. Synonym: chromatic granule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cone granule | Nucleus of a retinal cell connecting with one of the cones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polar granule | <biology> Granules containing a basic protein found in insect eggs that induce the formation of and become incorporated into germ cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cortical granule | <cell biology, gynaecology> Specialised secretory vesicles lying just below the plasma membrane of the egg, that fuse and release their contents immediately after fertilization (activation) to prevent polyspermy. (13 Nov 1997) |
| presecretory granule | Vesicles near the maturation face of the Golgi. Synonym: Golgi condensing vacuoles. (18 Nov 1997) |
| proacrosomal granule | <cell biology> Small carbohydrate-rich granule's appearing in vesicles of the Golgi apparatus of spermatids. They coalesce into a single acrosomal granule contained within an acrosomal vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prozymogen granule | <cell biology> Stage in the development of a mature secretory vesicle (zymogen granule). (18 Nov 1997) |
| secretory granule | A membrane-bound particle, usually protein, formed in the granular endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| seminal granule | One of the minute granular bodies present in the semen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| specific granule | One of the two main classes of granules found in neutrophils: contain lactoferrin, lysozyme, Vitamin B12 binding protein and elastase. Are released more readily than the azurophil (primary) granules which have typical lysosmal contents. (18 Nov 1997) |
