This article provides an overview of histology, also known as microscopic anatomy. It covers the light microscope and electron microscopy, as well as the structure and function of cellular components such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, organelles, and cytoskeleton. Additionally, it explores cell membrane, glycocalyx, microvilli, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and cilia.

HISTOLOGY(MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY) Definition.
Light Microscope (L/M) • 1- Illumination. • 2- Magnification. • 3- Resolution. N.B. Resolving power ( It is the least distance between 2 particles at which they will appear separated). R.P. for L/M is 250 nm
STAINING FOR L/M Staining with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) or (Hx&E): Basophilic structures. Acidophilic structures.
(B) Electron microscopy: 1-Transmission E/M: Resolving power 0.2 nm. * Electron-dense structure **Electron-lucent structure 2-Scanning E/M: Resolving power 10 nm.
CELL NUCLEUS (Interphase Nucleus) L/M: Appearance (Type): - Light nucleus (vesicular) (open face) - Dark nucleus (deeply-stained) Number: 1, 2, or more. Position: Central, eccentric, peripheral, basal.
Cell Nucleus • L/M (cont.): Size: Small, medium, large ( Nucleus/cell ratio) Shape: e.g. Rounded, oval, rod-shaped.
Nucleus (E/M diagram) RER------- Hc
Nucleus (Electron Micrograph) PRACTICAL
Nuclear pores PRACTICAL
Cell Nucleus(Interphase nucleus) E/M: (1) Nuclear envelope Inner nuclear membrane. Outer " " . Nuclear pores. Nuclear pore complex. Perinuclear cisterna. Nuclear lamina. N.B. Rough Endoplasmic reticula (Relation with,).
(2) Chromatin: ( Classification ): According to Metabolic activity: a- Euchromatin(Extended chromatin) b- Heterochromatin(Condensedchrom.) According to Position: a- Peripheral chromatin. b- Nucleolus-associated chromatin. c- Chromatin islands.
(3) Nucleolus: L/M: 1-5 basophilic bodies E/M: 1- Pale-staining fibrillar center. 2- Pars fibrosa: containing rRNA (nRNA) being transcribed.
Nucleolus (cont.): 3- Pars granulosa: maturing ribosomal subunits are assembled. 4- Nucleolar matrix. N.B.Nucleolus is a non-membranous structure. Function of nucleolus: rRNA synthesis.
NUCLEOPLASM • 1- Nuclear matrix. • 2- Ribonucleoprotein. • 3- Interchromatin granules. • 4- Perichromatin granules.
CYTOPLASM • Organelles. • Inclusions. • Cytosol.
Cytoplasmic organelles 1- Cell Membrane. 2- Ribosomes. 3- Endoplasmic Reticulum. 4- Golgi Apparatus. 5- Endosomes 6- Lysosomes. 7- Peroxisomes. 8- Mitochondria. 9- Cytoskeleton. 10-Centrioles. 11-Cilia & flagella. 12-Filaments (thin f., intermediate f., thick f.).
Cytoskeleton 1- Thin Filaments (actin filaments). 2- Intermediate Filaments. 3- Microtubules.
Specializations of cellmembranes • Microvilli. • Cilia. • Intercellular junctions.
Cytoplasmic Inclusions 1- Glycogen. 2- Lipids. 3- Pigments: e.g. lipofuscin pigments, melanin. 4- Crystals. 5- (Secretory granules).
