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 is the structure indicated by the green circles?
perichondrium
What is the structure indicated by the yellow circle?
perichondrium
