Lab 2 - Connective Tissue Flashcards
Collagen fiber (zoomed out)
Collagen fiber (single fiber)
What is the structure that is stained red and what is the structure that is stained yellow?
red: elastin fibers
yellow: collagen fibers
elastic fiber
Reticular fibers which make up reticular connective tissue
Reticular fibers (black lines)
Loose connective tissue
Dense irregular connective
What is located at the circles? What is the inside of the villi?
circles: dense irregular
other: loose connective
dense regular
dense regular (zoomed)
Adipose tissue
hyaline cartilage
hyaline cartilage
elastic cartilage
Can you tell what this is and with this stain can you differentiate b/w other similar tissues?
this is elastic cartilage, but looks almost identical in H&E - Verhoeff’s stain is needed to differentiate
Fibro-cartilage
Fibro-cartilage (zoomed out)

What process is happening here and where does it occur?
intramembranous ossification - flat bones
What structure is in the yellow circle?
spicules
What process is happening here and where does it occur
endochondral ossification - long bones
What zone of the epiphyseal plate is seen here?
RESTING ZONE (the zone where hyaline cartilage is untouched)
What zone of the epiphyseal plate is seen here?
ZONE OF PROLIFERATION (chondrocytes begin to proliferate rapidly in long stacks)
What zone of the epiphyseal plate is seen here?
ZONE OF HYPERTROPHY (chondrocytes begin growing rapidly - calcification has not yet occurred)
What zone of the epiphyseal plate is seen here?
ZONE OF CALCIFICATION (osteoblasts and osteocytes begin to invade the cartilage and calcification begins)
What zone of the epiphyseal plate is seen here?
ZONE OF RESORPTION (bone mods occurs here)
