HISTOLOGY OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Introduction Histology of connective tissue involves studying the cellular composition and extracellular matrix of various connective tissue types, like loose, dense, cartilage, bone, and blood. It helps understand their functions, structure, and role in the body’s support, protection, and maintenance.…
NERVOUS TISSUE HISTOLOGY
Histology of nervous tissue involves studying the microscopic structure of neurons and supporting cells, like glia. Neurons are the functional units, while glia provide support and protection. Stains are used to highlight specific features like cell bodies, axons, and dendrites.…
HISTOLOGY OF FAT TISSUE
Fat tissue, also known as adipose tissue, is a specialized connective tissue primarily composed of fat cells (adipocytes). It plays a crucial role in energy storage, insulation, and protection of organs in the body. Adipose tissue is distributed throughout the…
HISTOLOGY OF CYTOSKELETON
Introduction The cytoskeleton is a complex and dynamic network of protein filaments that provide structural support, shape, and organization to eukaryotic cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining cell integrity, facilitating cell movement, and enabling intracellular transport and communication.…
HISTOLOGY OF BLOOD SMEAR AND LYMPHOID TISSUE
Blood Cell Identification Criteria When identifying blood cells, several criteria are considered to distinguish different types of cells. Here are the common review criteria used for identifying blood cells: Cell Size: Blood cells vary in size, and their diameter is…
MYOCARDIUM AND BLOOD VESSEL HISTOLOGY
Introduction Histology is the study of the microscopic structure of tissues and organs. The myocardium is the muscular tissue of the heart, while blood vessels are the tubular structures that carry blood throughout the body. Here is an overview of…
HISTOLOGY OF SALIVARY GLANDS AND PANCREAS
Introduction Salivary Glands: The salivary glands are exocrine glands that produce and secrete saliva. There are three main types of salivary glands: parotid, submandibular, and sublingual. The histology of these glands is similar, with some differences in the size and…
