Final Projections Flashcards
Name & Characteristics
Artery, vein and nerve
Characteristics - Peripheral arteries, veins, and nerves tend to travel and branch in parallel.
Name
Epididymis
Name & Characteristics
Bronchiole
Characteristics: Cross-section with pseudostratified epithelium surrounded by hyaline cartilage, smooth muscle and adventitia. Hyaline cartilage and smooth muscle are also found in the bronchioles.
Name & Characteristics
Arterial Walls
Characteristics - elastic tissue is colored blue and consists of adventia, collagen is pale pink and cytoplasm (in smooth muscle and nerve) is red and consists of tunica media and the innermost layer, tunica intima is closest to the lumen
Name & Characteristics
Renal Tubules
Characteristics: Contain simple cuboidal epithelium
Name & Characteristics
Urethra
Characteristics: The epithelium of the urethra starts off as transitional cells as it exits, further along the urethra there are stratified columnar cells, then stratified squamous cells near the external urethral orifice.
There are small mucus-secreting urethral glands, that help protect the epithelium from the corrosive urine.
Name & Characteristics
Parathyroid Gland
Characteristics: The parathyroid gland is made of chief cells and oxyphil cells. It is made of denser tissue. Chief cells are numerous and smaller in size compared to the oxyphil cells.
Name
Oviduct
Name & Characteristics
Liver
Characteristics: central vain medially located and readily visible; portal triads consist of artery, portal vein, and bile duct
Name & Characteristics
Palatine Tonsils
Characteristics – Top layer of the tonsil consists of stratified Squamous epithelium followed by lymphatic tissue.
Name & Characteristics
Kidney
Characteristics: Glomeruli surrounded by Bowman’s capsules; aforementioned structures separated by capsular space; glomeruli demark the division between cortex and medulla in kidney
Name
Vagina
Name & Characteristics
Peyer’s Patches
Characteristics: Diffuse lymphoid tissues (lymphoid nodule) composed of lymphocytes
Name & Characteristics
Colon
Characteristics – Divided into four layers- mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and serosa. The mucosa is the innermost layer of the gastrointestinal tract that is surrounding the lumen, or space within the tube. This layer comes in direct contact with food (or bolus), and is responsible for absorption and secretion. Mucosa is further divided into epithelium, lamina propria and muscularis mucosae
Name
Penis
Name & Characteristics
Gastro-Esophageal (Cardiac) Sphincter
Characteristics: Cardiac sphincter at junction changes from stratified squamous to simple columnar
Name & Characteristics
Pituitary Gland
Characteristics: “1” is anterior pituitary (pars distalis), “2” is pars nervosa (neurohypophysis), and “3” is the infundibulum connecting pars nervosa to the hypothalamus
Name & Characteristics
Oral Cavity
Characteristics - The oral mucosa is the mucous membrane epithelium of the mouth. It can be divided into three categories.
Masticatory mucosa - keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, found on the dorsum of the tongue, hard palate and attached gingiva.
Lining mucosa - non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, found almost everywhere else in the oral cavity.
Specialized mucosa - specifically in the regions of the taste buds on the dorsum of the tongue.
Name & Characteristics
Lymph Node
Characteristics – A lymph node is round, ovoid, or bean-shaped and varies in size from less than 1 mm to 2-3 cm. Lymph nodes may enlarge during infection or disease and then they are easily palpated.
Name & Characteristics
Adrenal Gland
Characteristics: cortex divided into three zones: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis; medulla readily visible
Name & Characteristics
Crypts of Lieberkuhn
Characteristics: composed of simple columnar cells, goblet cells, DNES, and Paneth cells; tubular glands
Name & Characteristics
Pineal Gland
Characteristics: The secretory cells of the pineal gland are pinealocytes. The pineal body consists in humans of a lobular parenchyma of pinealocytes surrounded by connective tissue spaces. The gland’s surface is covered by a capsule.
Name & Characteristics
Thymus
Characteristics - Thymus is a bilobed mass of lymphatic tissue. It reaches its greatest relative weight (10-15 g) at birth and its greatest absolute weight (30-40 g) about the time of puberty. It begins to involute after puberty (weighing about 25 g at 25 years, 13 g at 50 years, and 6 g at 75 years) and may become difficult to recognize grossly because of fatty infiltration. Gonads, suprarenal glands, and the thyroid gland influence the thymus.
Name
Graafian follicle
