1. Identify

2. Its got lots of big purple granules
It’s a basophil

3. What layer is indicated

4. First… what are you looking at in general?
A large vein… you know because the tunica media is really SMALL
Remember that the tunica adventitia of some large veins can have longitudinally oriented smooth muscle… this is the case in this image so this is the tunica adventitia

5. Identify

6. Myelinated Axons

7. Identify

8. Hints:
Shape of nucleus
Color of cytoplasm
Neutrophilic band/stab cell

9. Identify

10. First, what type of vessel?
lumen/wall thickness ratio Artery
Tunica media has TONS Of muscle
Also you can see the internal elastic lamina
MUSCULAR/MEDIUM Artery

11. Identify

12. Basophilic erytrhoblast

13. What is predominant below the red line

14. Bullseye appearance of the cell
GANGLIA

15. Identify

16. Eosinophilic myelocyte

17. Identify

18. Reticulocyte
Has the RNA fragments still in it

19. Identify

20. medium vein
You know it’s a vein because the lumen got all mashed up and it doesn’t have a very thick wall
You know its medium because of its relative size

21. Identify

22. Neutrophilic stab cell
You know because it has a horseshoe shaped nucleusband cell and that its cytoplasm is salmon coloredneutrophil

23. Identify

24. Lymphocyte Because its not much bigger than RBCs
And its got a THIN layer of cytoplasm around it

25. Identify

26. Orthochromatophilic erythroblast
You know because it’s the same color as the RBC
And the nucleus is condensed

27. ID the red arrow

28. Eosinophilic metamyelocyte
Eosinophilic because its got a shitload of bright red/pink granules
Metamyelocyte because its got a kidney shaped nucleus

29. Identify

30. A happy neutrophil
Happy because you all got it right
