Relationship: cell --- tissue---organ---system---human body
Key points: I. What’s histology? II. Why we study it ? III. How to study it ? ---Histological methods.
I. What’s histology? Histology (Greek words): /histo---tissue /logia---study of ,or knowledge of Histology means the knowledge of tissue, is a branch of Anatomy.
Anatomy: ---gross anatomy ---microscopic anatomy/microanatomy Histology : a science which study the microstructure and the relationship between the structure and function of human being.
Cell: smallest unit of structure and function of body Tissue: group of cell and extracellular matrix Four basic tissue: ---Epithelial tissue ---Connective tissue ---Muscular tissue ---Nervous tissue
Organ: made up of tissue, have special shape, structure and function --- the cavity organ --- parenchymatous organ histology anatomy
System: organs which have related function get together.
What’s Embryology? Embryology is a kind of science which study the processes and the regulations of the development of human fetus. --- Preembryonic period --- Embryonic period (8 weeks before) --- Fetal period (9-38 weeks)
II. Why medical students should study Histology ?
Graduate Intern (exercitation) Clinic (Medicine,Surgery,Gynecology, Pedology, etc.) Pathphysiology Pharmocology Basic medicine &Surgery Physiology Biochemistry Microbiology Immunology Pathology Parasitology Histology & Embryology Anatomy
III. How to study it • Microscopy: Light microscopy (LM) Electron microscopy (EM) • Transmission electron microscope (TEM) • Scanning electron microscope (SEM) • Staining: H&E Histochemistry Immunohistochemistry In situ hybridiztion …
Relative Sizes in Histology Standard Units of Measure
Light Microscopy • :The resolution of the human eye is 0.2 mm. • :The resolution of the light microscope is 0.2 um. • :The resolution of the light microscope is 0.2 nm.
Preparation of tissue for LM The most routine one is paraffin section stained with hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) The steps: a.Obtaining the specimen: fresh, small pieces tissue block( less than 5mm3) b.Fixation: fixatives: use formalin or Bouin’s to preserve structural organization c.Dehydration: use ethyl alcohol to get rid of water of tissue and cell
d.Clearing: use xylene to get rid of alcohol *alcohol and xylene are embedding mediums e.Embedding: firstly, heat the paraffin, make it melt, then put tissue block into melted paraffin, allow paraffin harden, the tissue block is embedded in.
f.Sectioning: use microtome to cut the tissue into 3-8um thick sections, then mounted them on glass slides
H&E --- Routine staining for LM • ---Hematoxylin: basic dye, combines with acidic components, make them appear blue colour- basophilic, i.e. cell nucleus, hyaline cartilage • ---Eosin: acidic dye, combines with basic components, make them appear pink colour- acidophilic (eosinophilic), i.e. cytoplasm • basophilic • acidophilic (eosinopilic) • neutrophilc nucleolus nucleus
TEM: transmission electron microscopy The resolution of the TEM is about 0.1-0.5nm.
Basophilic granulocyte (TEM) Basophilic granulocyte (LM)
SEM: scanning electron microscopy The resolution of SEM is about 5nm.
Histochemistry & Cytochemistry To combine histological and cytological methods with chemical and biochemical methods and reveal the chemical composition of tissue and cell in situ.
Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction Localize polysaccharides, such as glycogen, in tissues and cells. PAS+ Produce an insoluble magenta complex
Immnohistochemistry • To use labelled antibodies as specific reagents for localizing tissue and cell constituents (antigens) in situ • Observation:Fluorescence microscope
In Situ Hybridization • A method for detection of specific RNA or DNA sequences directly in cells or tissue sections • incubate tissues with probe to detect cells expressing gene
