Mechanism
Tissue Reaction
Asbestos is a material that was once used extensively in construction. One risk from working in a building that contains asbestos is the development of asbestosis caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Cells will take up asbestos by phagoctytosis, but are not able to break it down. As a result, asbestos fibers accumulate in which organelle?
Golgi apparatus
nucleus
peroxisomes
lysosomes
