Practical Flashcards
What epidymus layer is this?

- Stratum granulosum
What cell layer is A? What does its presence indicate?

- Stratum lucidum
- It’s thick skin
What is this cell layer?

Stratum spinosum
- 8-10 layers thick*
- -the desmosomes from neighbouring cells remain tightly bound to each other looking like spines*
What shape are squamous cells?
Squamous means latin for scale, so they are thing scale likes structures
What are the shapes of straitifed squamous cells?
More flat at athe top and more cuboidal at the basal membrane
What is the classification of this epidermous?

Stratified squamous
- nuclei are flattened
- cells are more flat at top, more cuboidal at bottom
What is the classification of this epidermous?

Stratified squamous
- Flattened nuclei
- Cells are more flat at top and cubal at the bottom
What classifiation of epidermis is typcially involved with secretion/transport of substances across a single cell layer?
Usually simple columnar cells, but simple cells are good for this as well
What is the classification of this epidermous?

Simple columnar

fibrocartilage in intervertebral disc
*can tell by herringbone pattern
chondrocytes

spongy bone “spicula” bones.. little lines surrounded by marrow, don’t have haversion canals or volkmans canals
but do have osteocytes

red: spongy bone
blue: compact bone

radius
red: periosteum
blue: endoostem
mc; marrow cavity
how do you know this is compact bone?

circumferential lamellae around canals or openings -> haversion canals
around haversion canal are endosteum
how can you tell difference between volkamsn can haversion canal?

volkamans canal is perpendicular to bone so haversion is more of a circle
this is spongy bone from radius slide. what cells can you distinguish?

endosteum around the spong bone
canaliculi in green
osteocytes in red

tooth slide
alveolar process surrounding teeht

alveolar process

tooth slide
osteoblasts near forming bone
very closely packed, very basophillic

ostemclasts
aroudn degrading bone…
form extremely tight little balls.. usually largely than osteblasts
what is this organ?
what muscle is in here?

(cross section) Duodenum
see 4 coats (characteristic of digestive system): mucosa, submucosa, muscualris externalis, serosa
- brunners glands (globs of cells in submucosa) let you know its duodenum
- see auberachs plexus between inner circular and outer logntiudinal layers of muscalris externalis
musclaris externalis has SMOOTH MUSCLE
what cell is this?
identifhy the arrows

green: musclaris externa
red: submucosa
yellow: muscosa
usually 4 layers of digestive tract: mucosa, submucoda, masclaris externa, serosa (ON TOP)
this is duodenum
what is green arrow? what type of cell does it indicate?

green: brunners glands, characteristic of duodenum
of muscalris externa….
red: outer longitudinal layer

Muscle tendon junction in logntiudinal
tendon: dense regular tissue
fewer nculei, and thinner
skeletal muscle

muscle is above.

skeletal muscle, human
see striations in muscle.. know is skeltal muscle

right ventricle stained only
with a hematoxylin.
The luman (L) of the ventricle is at the bottom.
Theouter surface of the organ is covered by the epicardium (ep)
while thelumen is lined by the thin endocardium (en).
The bulk of the wall of theventricle consists of cardiac muscle (cm), that is cut in numerous planes.
*know its cardiac muscle because nuclei in center of fiber, fibers branch, not parallel, see little fibers between muscle fibers

ventricle
red; myocadium *made of cardiac muscle
green at bottom: thin endocardium
what msucle is this? how do you know?

cardiac muscle, from right ventricle
see nuclei in center of the fiber
fibers itnerwoven not parallel like skeletal.. stratied alothugh you cant see it much

cardiac muscle, cut in cross section
still mutlincuelated
can tell fibers arent paralle

cardiac muscle

Sciatic nerve
the epineurium, is comprised of moderately dense to
loose connective tissue and highly vascularize
perineurium, a thin but regular sheath comprised of collagen fibers, encircles the axons, organizing
them into discreet bundles. * this is highly eosinophilic, help identify peripheral nerves

longitudinal of sciatic nerve
has both myelinated and unmyelinated
arrows show: e clefts of Schmidt-Lanterman
these indicate extend of myelination, since myelin is a lipid and doesnt take up stain**

Pacinian corpuscle with your naked eye.
The Pacinian corpuscle is surrounded by the adipose
tissue of the hypodermis and may be near bundles of nerves
he outer capsule of the corpuscle resembles the perineurium and one may
observe a nerve fiber in the center

Skin of finger
of epidermis and dermis with dermal
papillae extending towards the surface and epidermal pegs extending down.
These
irregularities provide firm anchor of epidermis to dermis and produces “vascular islands”
in the epidermis that are actually continuous with the dermal papillae.
Within the dermal
papillae be able to distinguish vascular islands or loops from the encapsulated sensory
structure of a Meissner’s corpuscle.
