    Caitlin Esguerra
    This document provides an overview of Module 2 which focuses on metaplasmic materials found in cells. Metaplasmic materials, also called ergastic bodies, are residual elements of cytoplasm that are metabolic byproducts of cells, such as pigment granules, oil, fat, and starch. The module explores various specimens like potato, banana, peanut, and beef fat treated with reagents like iodine and glycerin to observe the metaplasmic materials present through changes in color. Cell inclusions are considered storage materials or pigments found within cells but not organelles, with examples being glycogen, lipids, and pigments like melanin.

    MODULE 2

    METAPLASMIC MATERIALS IN CELLS


    2

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    At the end of this module, you should be able to appreciate the presence of metaplasmic materials in the cells.

    ENGAGE

    Metaplasmic materials or ergastic bodies are residual elements of the cytoplasm that are metabolic products of
    the cell. Examples of these metabolic products are pigment granules, oil, fat, starch and others. These metaplasms
    could be for storage such as glycogen or fat.

    EXPLORE

    Note the changes in color in the different specimens subjected to different reagents to show the metaplasmic
    materials present. These result images were previously taken in the laboratory.

    EXPLAIN

    Cell inclusions are the products of cell metabolism, appearing and

    Cell inclusions are considered various nutrients or pigments that can be found within the cell, but do not have
    activity like other organelles. Examples of cell inclusions are glycogen, lipids, and pigments such as melanin,
    lipofuscin, and hemosiderin.
    Lipid spheres in tissues are caused by an accumulation of triglycerides and appear as perfectly spherical
    structures. Due to processing, lipids cannot be visualized in paraffin-embedded tissues; it is assumed lipid was
    present when clear, spherical structures are present. On frozen tissue, lipids can be visualized using stains such as
    Sudan. The material is prominent in adipocytes (fat cells), and may be found in any cell.

    Numerous pigments can be observed in tissues and cells. Melanin is a brown pigment in hair and skin. These are
    dense ellipsoidal granules produced by specialized cells called melanocytes and are transferred to hair and skin
    cells to produce a pigmentary change.
    A second pigment often found in cells and tissues is lipofuscin. Lipofuscin often appears as a brown-yellow color
    that can be autofluorescent and accumulates over time, giving it the name “age pigment”. It is mainly found in the
    lysosomes of post mitotic cells. Accumulation of lipofuscin can have detrimental effects on the cell by disturbing
    cellular processes and leading to a degradation of cellular activity. 
    In plants, metaplasmic materials could be present in the cell walls or vacuoles or in the organelles of
    protoplasm. These substances belong to 4 categories: reserve food, inorganic materials, secretory products and
    excretory products. Starch grains are found in all parts of the plant although in storage organs.
