1. Slide Study for Lab Practical
Histology

2. 8 slides Study location & function also
On epi tissue: find apical surface & basement membrane then determine shape & layers
Epithelial Tissue
8 slides
Study location & function also

3. Simple Squamous
Single row of flat cells

4. Simple Cuboidal

5. Simple Columnar

6. Psuedostratified Columnar
Looks like layers but not distinct rows

7. Stratified Squamous

8. Stratified Cuboidal

9. Reminder: look at apical surface for shape
Stratified Columnar

10. Transitional
Does not have any particular pattern

21. Connective Tissue Slides
On CT: find the one or two main features that let you ID the tissue

22. Areolar
Long dark fibers

23. Adipose
Large empty looking cells

24. Reticular
Short dark fibers

25. Elastic CT
Wavy stretchy looking fibers

26. Elastic Cartilage Cartilages are the only ones that have lacunae!!
Lacunae (circles that contain cells) surrounded by matrix
Elastic Cartilage

27. Hyaline Cartilage
Lacunae (circles that contain cells) surrounded by matrix – This cartilage has more matrix than elastic cartilage

28. Fibrocartilage
Lacunae (circles that contain cells) surrounded by matrix – This cartilage has even more matrix than hyaline cartilage

29. Blood

30. Compact (Osseous) Bone
Circles like tree rings – called osteons

31. Spongy (Cancellous) Bone
Looks like surface of a sponge
Spongy (Cancellous) Bone

32. Dense Irregular
Fibers run in no particular direction

33. Dense Regular
Fibers only run in one direction
