(esophagus, H-E)
Answer given, but there are other unidentified layers and components

Stratified Squamous Keratinizing Epithelium
palm skin HE
skin in general is keratinizing epithelium
layers, from outside:
1 keratinizing (dead cells) in corneal layer/stratum corneum
2 dying cells in lucidal layer/stratum lucidum
3 keratohyalin granules in the granular layer/stratum granulosum
4 spinous layer/ stratum spinosum
below is basal layer, dermis, hypodermis etc
Note the layers

scalp HE
sebaceous gland (holocrine)
Holocrine glands are glands that secrete whole cells that have completely broken down for elimination from the body (no other types of secretion kill the entire cell). Sebaceous glands are the only type of holocrine glands.
They are located parallel to hair follicles and are usually between hair follicles and the arrector pili muscles that support the follicles, allowing them to contract and tighten around the hair. Before secretion, the whole cells of the sebaceous glands first swell with lipids and other moisturizing agents. Then they break down, die and ooze out to engulf the surface of the skin.
When sebaceous glands disintegrate, they are secreted as a substance called “sebum.” This sebum, though a form of waste, is beneficial since it provides lubrication for hair follicles, reducing hair breakage and giving moisture to dry scalp and dry skin all over the body.

tubular-alveolar apocrine gland
prostate (HE)
corpora amylacea (prostate stones) are more frequent with age
contains transitional epithelium in parts of urethra
(note lumen)
if testosterone is high, cells may appear more columnar. if testosterone is low, cells may appear more cuboidal.

what is this and what are the sections with violet concentric circles?

corpora amylacea (prostate stones) are the structures with concentric circles in the lumen, more frequent with aging. may appear more solid/calcified.

identify the type of gland this is and explain components

EXPLANATION OF
submandibular gland HE
merocrine gland
tubular-alveolar
_
Merocrine glands are a type of EXOCRINE gland.
Merocrine is the most common manner of secretion. The gland releases its product and no part of the gland is lost or damaged
Submandibular gland has serous cells that produce saliva and surround or at least are near mucus cells (mucus isn’t stained so it’s invisible)
in image below, cells to the right are mucus cells and cells to the left are serous cells


tendon HE
Tendon cells, or tenocytes, are elongated fibroblast type cells. The cytoplasm is stretched between the collagen fibres of the tendon.

elastin fibers/ elastic artery (RF resorcin-fuchsin staining)
-ability to stretch in response to huge difference in pressuring during pulse through artery
layers (from lumen):
1 tunica intima
2 tunica media
3 tunica adventitia
Elastic fibers (or yellow fibers) are bundles of proteins (elastin) found in extracellular matrix of connective tissue and produced by fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells in arteries. These fibers can stretch up to 1.5 times their length, and snap back to their original length when relaxed. Elastic fibers include elastin, elaunin and oxytalan.
