Glass Slide images Flashcards
thyroid gland
parafollicular cells
what slide is this?
thyroid
thyroid slide
cuboidal follicular cell
What is this? What kind of gland is it (how do you know)?
Sweat gland
simple tubular coiled gland
A simple gland has an unbranched duct (or no duct at all). There is only a single secretory unit
What is this? What cells are found here?
Sweat gland
cells:
- dark cells - near lumen in the center
- pale cells - periphery, clear
- myoepithlial cells - lines periphery, with triangular shaped nuclei
What are these cells (how do you know)? Where are they found?
Myoepithlial cells
1) in sweat gland
line the periphery and have triangular shaped nucleus
2) also found in intralobular ducts
What is top portion of this picture (how do you know)
Sweat gland DUCT
know: b/c has stratified cuboidal epithelium, meanders through dermis to terminate on skin surface
What are the bottom arrows? What type of gland is this?
Sebaceous gland
round or pear shaped, clear or lavender
SIMPLE BRANCHED ACINAR GLAND
What is this? What type of muscle?
Erector pili in scalp slide, between hair follicles
smooth muscle
What muscle can be found between hair follicles?
Erecti pili - smooth muscle
What are thse cells in a sebaceous gland?
stem cells - basophillic
What are these cells? What does this signifify?
Pyknotic cells in sebaceous gland
- pyknotic means condensed nucleus*
- these cells are dying and will soon lyse. Ultimately, cells lyse and their lipid-filled cytoplasm becomes sebum*
What is this? what does its presence indicate? what type of gland is it?
Islet of langerhans
indicates you are in the pancreas
endocrine gland
what is this? What is secreted here?
Islet of langerhans
a cell -> glucagon
b cell -> insulin
∂ cell -> somatostatin
F or PP cell -> pancreas polypeptide
what is the gland around the “island” in the middle? what type of gland is this?
exocrine pancreas around the islet of langerhans
acini cells are stained bright red
compound acinar gland
what cell is this in the pancreas? (how do you know)
where does its product go?
serous acini cell
brightly red
product enters into intercalated duct
what is this in the pancreas (how do you know)? what does it secrete?
Interlobular ducts:
Low columnar epithelium
Also secrete bicarbonate-rich fluid.
Located between lobules, within the thin connective tissue septa that separate lobules.
what is this in the pancreas? waht does it secrete?
intercalated duct
looks collapsed on itself
produces bicarbonate, stimulated by secretin
what cell is this in the pancreas? what stimulates it?
what does this cell lack?
intercalated ducts
stim. by secretin
lacks secretory granules
what is red? blue (in the pancreas)
red – centroacinar cell – pale staining
blue – serous acinus cell
what is this in the panceas
centroacinar cells
pale staining little round ducts
What is this? what type of gland is it?
Submandibular glanda
predominance of the serous acini
compound tubuloacinar gland. By definition, as in all compound glands, the conducting portion is branched
What is this? What type of acni does it have
Submandibualr gland
mostly serous acni (so look for redish color), but also has mucoous acni and mixed acni
Mixed acinus
both mucous and serous cells that secrete into a common lumen.
what is this? what is it lined by?
Intralobular duct
intralobular duct of submandibular has striations at the basal surface of their cells.
lined by simple columnar epithelium
2 Notable features of Intralobular ducts (in the submandibular)
Intralobular ducts
- when you close condense, appears striated due to the parallel arrays of the mitochondria within the infolds of the plasma membrane at the basal surface of the cells.
- myoepithlial cells
what is this tissue? (how do you know)
tongue
papillae on one surface (absent on ventral)
skeletal muscle in middle
have von ebners glands
what is this(how do you know)? what tissue is it found?
circumvallate papillae in the tongue
- has taste buds (pale ovals)
type of epithelium on the tongue?
stratified squamous surface epithelium
what is this?
taste pore
taste bud that is open to the surface
what is this? where is it found?
filiform papillae on the tongue
conical structures with a core of lamina propria covered by a keratinized epithelium
*lacks taste buds
- what papilla is this?
- what is the muscle in the tounge?
- circumvallate papilla
- skeletal muscle
* (on this side is fungiform papilla)*
what is this? (how do you know)
Von Ebner’s glands
glands that open into the base of the crypt surrounding the circumvallate papilla.
what is this (how do you know)?
foliate paillae in rabbit tongue slide
has flat tops with deep clefts between them
taste buds aligned in the clefts (on the sides)
* describe the changes observed when you move down the esophagus
- cardiac glands are present throughout, but become more prominent the closer to the stomach you get.
- skeletal muscle in upper third
mixexed in middle third
smooth m. in lower third
what is this in the esophagus what is found here?
mucosa
stratified squamous epithelium
the lamina propria
and the muscularis mucosae.
what is the blue arrow in the esophagus?
muscularis mucosae in the esophagus
what is the brakcet? what is here?
submucosa of the esophagus
dense irregular connective tissue containing numerous blood vessels and lymphatics
what is in the bracket in this esophagus slide? what does it mean?
muscularis externa
in this section, its made of inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of smooth muscle —> meaning from lower third of esophagus!
4?
adventitia
what is 2?
submocsa of the esophagus
what is 1?

what is 1? 2? how do you know
- stomach esophageal transition slide*
1) esophagus - darker stratified squamous epithelium
2) stomach - lighter simple columnar
narrow and dark stratified squamous epithelium (of the esophagus) switches to a lighter staining stomach epithelium ( simple columnar epithelium)

what is this? how do you know?
esophageal glands proper
know its esophageus due to the stratified squamous epithelium
located in the submucosa (outside of the muscularis mucosae)

esophageal cardiac gland
- found in the mucosa (so know its cardiac gland) 2. and it is below the stratified squamous epihtelium
bottom arrows?
cardiac glands of the stomach
in the mucosa, and are below the gastric pits
what is this?
gastric pit in stomach
what is 7? what muscles does it have?
muscularis externa of the stomach
A. An innner oblique layer B. a middle circular 3. an external longitudinal layer.
the threee layers make the muscualris externa of the stomach seem relatively large
what is this (its between the two outer layers of either the esophagus and stomach)
auerbachs plexus
its the myenteric plexus
its between the inner circular and outer longitudinal muscle layers
what is this? what produces it?
mamilated area in the stomach
produced by the thickness of the mucosa into a scalloped or cobblestone
