Exam 1 Flashcards
PAS
Glycocalyx and basement membranes
Massons trichrome
Collagen architecture
Wrights stain
RBC and WBC
Sudan
lipid droplets and mitochondria
Silver stain
polypeptide hormores (in golgi) and basement membranes
Hematoxyin
stains DNA and RNA at the inactive part (heterochromatin) Unstained is the euchromatin!
What DNA stains better?
Less coiled (heterochromatin)
Less active cells do not have…?
Ribosomes because they do not move out of nucleoulous to produce machinery
Usually for cytoplasm we stain with
Eosin….more acidiophillic in cytoplasm
Secretory vessicles usually release what for this stain?
Enzymes for the eosin stain…nucleous is stained with basophillic material
Osmium (sudan)
used for lipid droplets
Feuglan
Used for staining the DNA of cells only!
Acid Phosphatase
Used for staining lysosomes with the enzyme acid phosphatase for digestion
Silver stain
used for golgi apparatus…will not stain nucleus or nucleoulous
Acid fuschin
used to stain mitocondria…especially in kidneys for seeing active transport!
Negative relief giesma
will stain golgi zone but leave white everything else…cytoplasm and its contents
Negative relief Wrights
mitocondria in RBCs are rich in lipid membrane so they will stand out in basophillic stain
Keratinocytes with H&E
will stand out as red/gold because of the pigment melanin
Lipofuschin
nerve cells…turn brown pigment (lysosome residual bodies)
Lipochrome
muscle cells…turn up yellow pigment (lysosome residual bodies)
Mesenchymal cell
very undifferentiated. Can become differenitated. As undifferentiated, the cyto will not stain very well because no other organells
Paneth Cell
Highly differentiated cells. antibacterial agent for the gut. Agent is produced at bottom via nucleous/ribosomes. Packaged in middle (red granules). Stored and released at top of cell. Cell has polarity!
Nerve cell
very big
doesn’t stain well besides nucleolus
Epithelial cells
Eosin stain
Found along the edge and are absorptive
Box like shape with cilia and villi
Eosin
Osteoclasts, striated duct cells. parietal cells
collagen and fibers
mitocondria, acgin and myosin, Hb
Diastase
removes glyogen from the cell via hydrolysis
Intermediate filaments
stains kertain via anti-keratin (10nm)
Mictotubules
tubulin (25nm) via eosin
Microfilaments
actin and myosin (5-7nm) via eosin
Differentiation
cell assumes specialized structures and fxns
Cell differentiation in adults
MATURATION
Cell layers as they diffferentiate?
Youngest at the bottom layer and then go up as they get older
Stem cells
Undifferentiated
Apoptosis
Programmed cell death via genes
uses own energy
Necrosis
cell death via external factor
Number of lymphocytes from the thymus that dont mature?
95%
Many undergo apoptosis
Cornified skin layer
All skin has it…allows us to touch and hold things
Caspases
Corresponds with Apoptosis. Enzymes that allows for cascade of activation
Pyknosis
condensation of chromatin is a sign of apoptosis
karyorrhexis
degradation of DNA causing the nucleus to break down
promnormoblast
youngest recognizable RBC
RBCs are bigger or small when young?
HUGE
The more active its chromatin, the most synthesizing and stretched out!
Very delicate network full of dots that will get bigger and bigger
Euchromatin vs heterochromatin. Hetero increases with age!
Blue stain via Wright stain
Ribosomes stained via eosin because of Hb synthesis present!
Stage of Normoblast development
1-Basophillic normoblast-has the greatest amount of ribosomes at this stage!
2-Polychromatophillic normoblast is the next stage
Youngest is the most blue…the redder it becomes the older it gets!
3-Orthochromic normoblast-late normoblast (right before maturation)
4-Polychromatophilic erythrocyte-nucleous is gone and the RBC is almost mature!
Reticulocytes
little bit of ribosome left in them…want about 1-1.5% to be considered normal that will eventually mature into the normal erythrocyte. VERY IMPORTANT…anemic
Inclusions
resevoirs for metaboltes, waste, secretory
EM resolution
0.001um
Pars Fibrosa (hetero)
extremly dense (dark) chromatin in the nucleus
