FMS Week 5 Flashcards
Pathology
cells in cardiac muscle
mononuclear branching cells connected via cell junctions
cells of cartilage
chondroblasts and chondrocytes
what are the main issues of formalin?
hardens tissues slowly and doesn’t protect them from shrinkage during embedding/sectioning
stratum basale
base layer of epidermis; location of stem cells and melanocytes; constant repair/regeneration
red in Masson’s trichrome
muscle
Stain for carbohydrates and carbohydrate compounds
Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS)
epithelium type of epidermis
stratified squamous
transmembrane proteins associated with gap junctions?
connexin proteins organized into 6-unit connexons containing a central hydrophilic channel
epithelium type of GI lining
simple columnar
epithelium type of vagina
stratified squamous
Stain for diabetic changes in the kidney
Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS)
Stain for collagen/fibrosis
Masson’s Trichrome
epithelium type of inner lining of vascular system
simple squamous
section thickness for microscopy?
3-10 microns for light
<0.1 micron for electron
Masson’s Trichrome
stain for collagen/fibrosis
from what cells do dermatofibromas arise?
fibroblasts/dendritic cells
islets of langerhans
endocrine function of the pancreas, secrete insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin in to circulation
staining for blood smears
Giemsa/Wrights
epithelium type of nasal cavity
pseudostratified
blue in Masson’s trichrome staining
Collagen fibers (blue-green), nuclei are blue due to H&E primary stain
stratum corneum
acellular keratinized layer of the skin
stratum lucidum
clear layer of acellular bodies between granulosum and corneum
cells of bone
osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes
sebaceous glands
multicellular exocrine gland in the dermis that secretes sebum to the surface
what type of gland are goblet cells?
unicellular exocrine
epithelium type of trachea
pseudostratified epithelium
Describe an ideal fixative:
penetrates quickly, renders all parts of cells permanent, allows for staining and testing, no change by cell shrinkage
common features of GI tract histology?
mucosa (mucosal epithilium, lamina propia, muscularis mucosa), submucosa, muscularis propia, serosa
endocrine glands
lack a duct, secretion released directly into the blood for circulation
epithelium type of vas deferens
stratified columnar
keratinocytes
epithelial cells (squamous) of the epidermis
define cilia
motile apical cell projections made of microtubules
what type of junctions are associated with heart muscle?
gap junctions
what is the basis of immunohistochemistry?
specific antibody-antigen binding in the cell membrane, cytoplasm, or nucleus
exocrine glands
connected to epithelial surface by a duct, secrete onto body surface or into body cavity
stratum spinosum
thickest layer of epidermis; contains live keratinocytes and langerhans cells
Tissue with variable rate of renewal, no dedicated blood supply (diffusion from connective tissue), integrity maintained by cell adhesion molecules/juctional complexes, basal lamina, function determined by polarity
epithelial
cells of CT proper
fibroblasts
what type of epithelium are goblet cells most commonly found?
pseudostratified
location of synovial membranes
line joint cavities (produce fluid within joint)
epithelium type of auditory tube
pseudostratified epithelium
epithelium type of lung alveoli
simple squamous
epithelium type of male urethra ducts
stratified cuboidal
from what cells do hemangiosarcomas arise?
endothelial vessel cells
what are the positives of osmium?
preserves cell closest to in vivo state, stains fats/lipid-containing materials black
cells of adipose
adipocytes
main forms of epithelial tissue
external and internal surfaces; glands
what is trabecular bone?
the spongy interior portion of bone
features of the epithelium of the small intestine
circular folds (“supervilli”), villi(w/ crypts), microvilli, simple columnar
location of serous membranes
line body cavities closed to the body exterior (peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial)
what are osteoblasts?
cells in bone that lay down new bone
what are traberculae?
intersecting spaces (site of hematopoesis/marrow) in trabecular bone
Giemsa/Wrights
stain for peripheral blood smears
location of cutaneous membranes
the skin
embryologic germ of most soft tissue
mesoderm
characteristics of epithelial tissue
variable rate of renewal, no dedicated blood supply (diffusion from connective tissue), integrity maintained by cell adhesion molecules/juctional complexes, basal lamina, function determined by polarity
