- Back
Objective lenses |
Receive the image from the specimen slide and enlarge it. Three or four lenses are usually located on a revolving nosepiece. Longer lenses are higher power and thus enlarge the image more. |
|
Ocular lenses |
Receive the image from the objective lens, enlarge it, and project it to your eyes. |
|
Head |
Top part of the microscope. Contains mirrors which reflect images to the ocular lenses. Can rotate if set-screw is loosened. |
|
Arm |
Vertical piece. Supports the head of the microscope, the stage, the condenser, and the focusing controls. |
|
base |
Horizontal piece. Supports the microscope. |
|
stage |
Platform which supports the slide. Hole in center allows light from condenser to pass through. Supports slide holder. |
|
sub stage light source |
Located above the base. Includes the field diaphragm and adjusting ring used to control the width of the light beam passing through. |
|
on/off switch |
turns the light source on and off |
|
intensity control |
Changes the intensity (brightness) of light from the light source |
|
condenser |
Series of lenses which focus light on the specimen slide. Can be moved up and down by a knob on the side. |
|
iris diaphragm |
Controls width of light beam passing through the condenser to the specimen slide |
|
side holder |
holds specimen slid in position controls movement of slide |
|
knobs for moving slides |
Control fine movement of the slide holder, front-to-back and side-to-side. |
|
Course focus control |
Moves the stage up and down to bring the image of the specimen into approximate focus. |
|
Fine focus control |
Moves the stage up and down to bring image into final focus. |
|
Basic types of Tissues |
Epithelium Muscle Tissues Nervous Tissues Connective Tissue |
|
Epithelium |
lines the surface of he body, hollow organs, and spaces forms glands |
|
muscle tissue |
contracts to generate a pulling or squeezing force |
|
nervous tissue |
allows electrical information to be carried from one place to antother |
|
Epithelium Function |
protection, absorption, secretion, and filtration |
|
Two ways Epithelial are classified |
1. How many cell layers form the lining. one layer - simple epithelium two or more layers- stratified epithelium. One layer but looks like many layers- pseudostratified epithelium. 2. The shape of the surface layer of cells. Flat cells- squamous. As wide as they are tall- cuboidal Taller than they are wide - columnar. |
|
Epithelial Classifications |
|
|
transitional epithelium |
urinary system are lined internally by an epithelium containing cellswhich go back and forth between being flat and cuboidal |
|
three layers of epithelium |
Epitheliumalways supported by connective tissueandseparated from it by a basement membrane.Depends on connective tissue for vessels,nerves, etc |
|
Classification of glands in Epithelium |
1. Ducts or not? 2. Method of Secretion |
|
Ducts for Epithelium? |
Yes - Exocrine: duct carries product to surface
No - Endocrine: product secrered into surronding extracellular matrix, picked up by blood vessels |
|
Method of Secretion for Epithelium |
Merocrine: Product released from undamaged cells Apocrine: Top part of cell lost during secretionHolocrine: Entire cell lost during secretion |
|
Visual Classification of Glands |
|
|
Connective Tissues |
fewer cells and space between them- extracellular matrix |
|
extracellular matrix |
1. ground substance water and molecules dissolved 2. fibers |
|
Fibers- connective |
a. collagen fibers b. elastic fibers c. reticular fibers |
|
connective tissue Ordinary / specialized |
Ordinary: loose (areolar), adipose, reticular, elastic, dense (ir)regular Specialized: Blood, Bone, Cartilage |

Integumentary system |
hair, toenails, fingernails, and glands which produce oil and sweat protects usfrom physical damage, keeps water and solutes in while keeping debris and damagingsubstances out, helps regulate body temperature, and serves as our interface with the worldaround us. |
