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

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

Name
Vagina
Name & Characteristics
Peyer’s Patches

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
