Q

Examining Pancreas Slide

A

1) Low Magnification - Pancreas is separated into lobules separated by septa
2) Find center of lobule and increase magnification

3) High Magnification -
Exocrine pancreatic cells (parenchymal cells) are arranged in clusters called acini with a central lumen into which secretory products are released
Parenchyma are highly polarized with a spherical nucleus (open-faced)
Notice Basophilic (purple - nucleic regions and RER = cell is metabolically active) and Acidophilic/Eosinophilic (pink) regions

4) Lower your condensor = note presence of zygomagen granules within cytoplasm of the pancreatic cells = CELL INCLUSIONS

Ducts and blood vessels also present

Q

Examining Dorsal Root Ganglia Slide

A

Low Magnification - Note large ganglionic cells surrounded by smaller, darker satellite cells

High Magnification - Ganglionic cells:
Large open-faced nucleus with a prominent nucleolus (not every cell seems to have a nucleus b/c of where the cell was cross-sectioned)
Basophilic stain of cytoplasm = due to rough endoplasmic reticulum = Nissl substance in neurons
Space around ganglionic cells = artifact fixation due to shrinkage from dehydration

can also notice stroma and neuronal cell membrane

18
Q

Examination of the Liver Slide

A

Low Magnification:
Large blood vessels
Septa
Hepatic Cells (Hepatocytes; Parenchyma; lots of activity)

High Magnification:
Sinusoids - spaces containing erythrocytes, leukocytes, and hepatocytes
Hepatocytes with open-faced nuclei and many vacuoles (lipids or glycogen from digestion) in the cytoplasm (pink))
Endothelial Cells
Lipid Droplets (CELL INCLUSIONS)

Also central vein

19
Q

Erythrocytes

A

Small and ovoid

5-7 micrometers

Viewed in almost all tissues = marker for estimating size of cells

20
Q

Endothelial Cells

A

Flattened and often elongated

Line all vascular structures

34
Q

Examination of Uterus Slide - Slide 1

A

Low Magnification:
Central lumen
Epithelial cells line the lumenal surface that invaginates the endometrium to form uterine glands (cross section)
Notice the difference between the inner endometrial layer (endoderm) and the outer myometrial layer (thick smooth muscle, mesoderm)
Blood vessels

High Magnification:
Examine the uterine glands - different stages of mitotic activity
Mitotic activity = mitotic figures

35
Q

Why is it important to recognize mitotic figures?

A

Indicative of normal/abnormal growth and tissue repair

If not supposed to be reproducing, could = cancer

36
Q

Uterine Glands

A

Created by invagination of epithelial cells into underlying endometrium

Active or quiet depending on phase of reproductive cycle (estrus, proestrus, diestrous, metestrous, anestrous)

High estrogen levels = cells proliferate = cells in various stages of mitosis

Low estrogen levels = no activity (mitosis)

Lowering Progesterone levels - vascular tissue regressing leaving some RBCs in the connective tissue proper

37
