Body cell — organelles and secretory pathway (3D)

About this app

A human body cell at 1 unit = 1 µm: nucleus with double envelope, nuclear pores and chromatin, rough ER continuous with the nuclear envelope, smooth ER, Golgi (cis/trans), endosomes, lysosomes, peroxisomes, mitochondria with cristae and mtDNA, centrosome, microtubules, actin cortex and intermediate filaments. The secretory pathway in seven scrubbable phases: transcription, nuclear pore, translation at the rER, COPII to the Golgi, cis→trans, vesicle on a microtubule, exocytosis. Cutting plane, layers and a membrane loupe.
