simple columnar epithelium
- H&E staining
- found in wall of gallbladder- low magnification
- the innermost layer of its wall is built up of one layer of columnar epithelial cells resting on a basement membrane.
- the cells have one basally located nucleus stained in blue by the hematoxylin.
- no villi
- no crypts
- no submucosa
- no goblet cells
- violet lilac colour
simple cuboidal epithelium
- found in the thyroid gland
- H&E staining
- follicles first found low magnification
- homogenous eosinophillic matter- colloid. in the middle
- purple thyrocytes observed lining the wall of each follicle
- each thyrocyte shas one centrally located nucleus
- pinkish purple
stratified squamous keratinized epithelium
- found in glabrous skin
- azan staining
- epidermis and underlying dermis low mag
- various shapes found columnar polygonal squamous
- cell nuclei stained in red
- cytoplasm and its components different shades of red and orange
- deep red violet blue
acid phosphotase
- found in liver
- method of gomori
- considered as a marker enzyme for lysosomes
- brownish yellow
succinate dehydrogenase
- found in kidney
- tetrazolium method of nachlas
- catalyzes the oxidation of the succinate to fumarate
- located on the inner mitochondrial membrane
- deep dark violet colour
glycogen
- found in liver
- PAS reaction
- two sections- one starved other recently fed
- recently fed- intense magenta observed- glycogen granules in the liver cells- positive PAS reaction
- at large mag- glycogen is not evenly distributed in cells laid down in one of the cell poles- the escape of glycogen- due to the tissue processing prior to the PAS reaction.
lipids

- microvilli are 0.5 to 1μm long
- the edge of the small intestine
- long purple edges look like bristles of a brush
mitochondria
- kidney
- iron hematoxylin staining
- dark greyish blackish
- kidney bean looking
- the granules at the basal cellular compartment are the mitochondria
