Cytoplasmic inclusion

Cytoplasmic inclusion

Inclusions (Cytoplasmic) are non-living substances[1] that may or may not be present in a cell, depending on the cell type. Inclusions are stored nutrients, secretory products, and pigment granules. Examples of inclusions are glycogen granules in the liver and muscle cells, lipid droplets in fat cells, pigment granules in certain cells of skin and hair, water containing vacuoles, and crystals of various types.
