Histology LabAll drawings should be made on high power

1. Find a slide of simple squamous epithelium (make sure you look at both isolated cells and the entire epithelium). Draw the epithelium and label a nucleus in the space below

A. Where would this be found in the body?

B. How does this differ from other epithelial tissues?

2. Retrieve a slide of simple cuboidal epithelium. Draw the epithelium and label as many parts as you can.

A. Where would this be found in the body?

B. Why is the name ‘simple cuboidal’ appropriate for this tissue?

3. Acquire a slide of simple columnar epithelium. Draw the epithelium.

A. Where would this be found (2 place) in the body?

B. What cell membrane modifications can be found on this cell? Why?

4. Capture a slide of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. Draw the epithelium please.

A. Why is this name appropriate for the tissue type?

B. Where would this be found in the body?

5. Locate a stratified squamous epithelium slide. Draw the epithelium.

A. Where would this be found in the body?

B. How does this differ from the simple squamous in form and function?

6. Draw a goblet cell epithelium. Label the secretory cell, lumen, and basement membrane.

A. What type of epithelium is this usually found in?B. Is this exocrine or endocrine? Why?

C. Where is this tissue found in the body? Why?

7. Look at the areolar tissue and draw the fibers found there. Label the protein fibers.

A. Where is this found in the body?8. View the adipose tissue. Draw the tissue.

. A. What appearance does it have (compare it to something)?

B. Why isn’t it staining darkly like the areolar tissue?

C. Where is this tissue found in the body?

9. Draw Elastic Cartilage. Label lacunae, chondrocytes, & ground substance.

A. What type of protein is prominent in elastic cartilage and how does that affect its function in the body?

10. Portray Hyaline cartilage in a drawing. Label lacunae, chondrocytes, & ground substance.

A. Compare and contrast the two cartilage types from above

B. What substance is present in hyaline cartilage that masks the collagen fibers?

C. Where in the body would this be found?

11. Look at a skin slide. Focus your efforts deep to the stratified squamous layer to find the dermis. Draw the fibers.

A. What type of connective tissue is this?B. Where else is this tissue found in the body?

12. Look at and draw the fibers on the tendon slide from the longitudinal section and cross section. Label the fibroblast, collagen fibers, and tendon bundles (cs only).

A. How are the fibers organized?

B. What types of proteins are present?

C. Where is this tissue present in the body?

D. What is the name of this type of connective tissue?

13. Draw the three types of muscle fibers. Write below your drawing where they are found in the body.

Smooth Skeletal Cardiac

14. Track down a slide of Fibrocartilage. Sketch it below (label lacunae, chondrocytes, and matrix).

A. Where is this found in the body?

B. What purpose does it serve?

15. Locate a blood smear slide. Draw a small example (label erthrocytes and leukocytes).

A. What is the purpose of erythrocytes?

B. What is the purpose of leukocytes?

C. Compare and contrast blood tissue and lymph tissue.

16. Unearth a bone tissue slide. Be able to recognize it.
