57 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Epithelium vs. CT
Epithelium above connective tissues
Ducts vs. secretory cells of glands
Ducts - darker, single or stratified layer of cuboidal epithelial cells

Glands - lighter, they're secretory cells
Microvilli vs. cilia vs. stereocilia
Microvili - in the duodenum, increase surface area for absorption, thin layer on top of simple columnar, goblet cells present

Cilia - found in bronchus (lung), long white color, on top of pseudostratified columnar (and will always be on top of columnar), larger than microvilli, helps move mucus secreted by goblet cells

Stereocilia - pseudostratified columnar, no goblet, tube-shape
Inter vs. Intralobular ducts
Inter - embedded in CT b/t lobules, lined by simple columnar or stratified cuboidal/columnar

Intra - smalled, embedded within lobules, lined by simple cuboidal (contains serous acini
Simple tubular glands
crypts of Lieberkuhn, intestinal
Simple coiled tubular glands
eccrine sweat glands, with secretary ducts and glands deep beneath the epithelium
Simple branched tubular glands
Brunner's gland, clear cytoplasm, arranged in tubes, empty via ducts into the base of crypts of Lieberkuhn
Simple branched alveolar glands
Sebaccous, look for hair follicle, "grapes"
Mesothelium
simple squamous

outside of tubes of GI system, spaces beneath it
Endothelium
simple squamous

lines outside of BV
Urothelium
transitional epithelium

lots of tight junctions

look for round, dom-shaped, possibly dual-nuclei

found in ureter, bladder, and prostatic urethra
Serous vs. mucous acini
serous darker (protein), mucous lighter

mucous with nuclei squashed

all acinus arranged in pie-shaped secretory unit
Serous demilune
mucous acini capped with several serous cells
Loose areolar CT
loose looking tissues, well vascularized, contains elastic fibers (dark) and collagen fibers

examples: lamina propria of GI, stroma of glands, and the hypodermis (and fat cells, adipose)
Plasma cells
nucleus at one end of cell, "clock face"
Fibroblasts vs. smooth muscles
fibroblast's nucleus - spindle shape

smooth muscle's nucleus - rounded shape
Dense irregular CT
most of the dermis below epithelium

irregular arrangement of collagen fibers and size
Tendons vs. skeletal muscle
nuclei location

tendon - interspersed among the collagen fibers

skeletal muscle - located on the perimeter of the cytoplasm
Cells in CT
fibroblast, mast cells, macrophages, lymphocytes
Mast cell vs. plasma cell
Plasma: "clock face", golgi hof near nucleus

Mast: cytoplasm contain red granules
Mast cell vs. eosinophil
very similar red granules, but eosinophils have bilobed nucleus
Mast cell vs. fibroblast
fibroblast's nucleus usually aligned with collagen fibers
Lymphocyte vs. macrophages
nucleus, and brown "stuff"

lymphocytes have nucleus covering most of the cytoplasm, hence little cytoplasm seen in lymphocytes

macrophage has a lot of brown crap (literally) since it is the main component of phagocytosis
Reticular fibers vs. elastic fibers
Reticular fibers holds endothelial cells in place, really scattered in PAS stain

In silver stain - it is pretty obvious, it has perpendicular patterns

not visible with H&E due to glycol-groups in glycoproteins can't be stained specifically
Lacunae
chondrocytes lie in them
Periochondrium
surrounds the whole cartliage
Chondroblasts
lies more peripheral toward the periochondrium, differentiates into chondrocytes, which get bigger as they go deeper into the cartilage
Chondrogenic layer
chondroblasts lie in it

also the inner perichondrial layer
Fibrous layer
fibroblasts lie in it, superficial to chondrogenic layer

also the outer perichondrial layer
Isogenous groups
clusters of chondrocytes within the matrix
Haversian system
also called osteon

consists of a haversian canal

surrounded by concentric lamellae
Canaliculi
canals that are perpendicular to the lamellae
Canaliculi vs. Volkmans canal vs. Haversian canal
both canaliculi and volkmans can be perpendicular, but volkmans is a big ass canal, cannot miss it

haversian canal just has a small circle
External circumferential lamellae
irregular layers, in between osteons
Periosteum
lines compact bone
Endosteum
inside of compact bone, before the spongy
Spicules
also named trabeculae

irregular, into the spongy bone from the compact bone from what it seems
Endochondral ossification
the process of bone formation in which growing cartilage template is replaced by bone tissue
Appositional growth
interior layer of the perichondrium, multiplication of chondroblasts
Interstitial growth
growth by division of chondrocytes
Hyaline vs. elastic vs. fibro
Hyaline - type II (blue/gray)

Elastic - same as hyaline, with a lot more elastic fibers

Fibrocartilages - type I collagen, no perichondrium = no appositional growth
Chondroblasts vs. chondrocytes
chondroblasts more peripheral

chondrocytes in lacunae and deeper to the periochondrium
Dendrites vs. axon
Dendrites have Nissl substance (with Luxol fast blue stain)

both come off cell body

Axon is also lighter stain
Satellite cells
surrounds the neuronal cell bodies, for support

analgous to Schwann cells
Schwann cells
ensheath or myelinate axon
Myelin sheath
donut shape
Satellite vs. Schwann
look for nucleus and nucleolus (satellite)
Dorsal root vs. autonomic
Central vs. eccentric nucleus

Many vs. few satellite cells

Myelinated vs. none

Somatic sensory fibers vs. visceral motor

Pseudounipolar vs. multipolar
Enteric glial
associated with the enteric nervous system, in the GI tract
Myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus
located between two smooth muscle layers

unmyelinated axons and enteric glia
Meissner's plexus
in the submucosa, the area of CT above the muscle layers
Meissner's corpuscles vs. Pacinian corpuscles
Meissner's
-around the papillae
-light touch

Pacinian
-onion shape
-pressure and vibration
Ensheathed vs. myelinated
ensheathed has nuclei, myelinated is srrounded by color and center is white (donut)
Epinuerium vs. Peri vs. Endo
Epi - outter layer

Peri - surrounds fascicle

Endo - surrounds each Schwann cell-axon units
Internodes
region between nodes of Ranvier
Skeletal vs. cardiac vs. smooth
Skeletal - striated, line up in a longitudinal order, no branching, with A band (dark), and I band (light band), nuclei on the edge

Cardiac - striated, longitudinally lined up, but branches, nuclei located in the center, contains intercalated discs, kinda like nodes of ranvier

Smooth - not striated, two layers: inner circular layer and outer longitudinal layer, nuclei central
Smooth vs. CT
Smooth runs in straight lines, slight wave, cytoplasm more basophilic

CT has irregular pattern or quite wavy
