Histology Review

For each slide when you take the test you will need to name the tissue, but you will also need to indicate whether the tissue is epithelial (E.T.), connective (C.T.), or muscle tissue (M.T.) as well. This can be abbreviated as indicated above. Nervous tissue is just “nervous tissue” so please do not abbreviate.

Simple squamous epithelial tissue (E.T.)

Simple cuboidal epithelial tissue (E.T.)

Simple columnar epithelial tissue (E.T.)

Psuedostratified ciliated columnar E.T.

Stratified squamous E.T.

Transitional E.T.

Bone C.T. (connective tissue)

Hyaline cartilage C.T. (connective tissue)

Fibrocartilage C.T.

Dense fibrous (regular) C.T.

Areolar C.T. (loose connective tissue)

Adipose C.T. (loose connective tissue)

Blood C.T.

Skeletal M.T. (muscle tissue)

Cardiac M.T. (muscle tissue)

Smooth M.T. (muscle tissue)
