Histology Intro Oh, Say, can you see?
Finding Epithelium • By definition, this tissue exists at the outside edge… • Look for it! • The “Free” surface = apical • Free faces outside or lumen of a tube • The “attached” surface = basal
Determine the number of layers Simple: Stratified:
… and shape Squamous Cuboidal Columnar
…or something else… Pseudostratified… Transitional…
Comparing epithelium Stratified squamous Simple columnar
More epithelium… Simple cuboidal
Connective Tissue Types Loose (areolar)
Dense Connective Tissue Dense Irregular Joint capsules, skin, hollow organs Dense Regular • Tendons, ligaments
Connective Tissue Blood Adipose (fat)
Connective tissue Cartilage
