Once the digestive process in an autophagolysosome is completed, the organelle is called a residual body. If its contents are not eliminated from the cell by exocytosis and are instead retained within the cytoplasm indefinitely, it is also called a residual body. Lipofuscin granules, on the other hand, are a type of residual body that accumulates within cells as a result of oxidative damage, and are not directly related to the autophagy process. Autophagosomes are precursor structures to autophagolysosomes and are involved in the initial steps of autophagy.
