Lab Practical Flashcards
(34 cards)
erythrocytes
- red blood cells (everywhere on slide)
- contain hemoglobin
platelets
- tiny purple/ red dots
- clot to stop bleeding
neutrophils (PMNs)
- darker segs/ balloon animals shapes inside
- most abundant/ 1st line of defense
- increase = fighting infection, puss present
lymphocytes
- darker large round nucleus/ eyeball like
- increase = fighting infection and disease
eosinophils
- darker wishbone middle with two parts barely attached
- increase = allergic reaction or immflamuation (asthma, hay fever)
monocytes
- darker deformed heart shaped middle
- increase = inflammatory disease (IBD), parasite, vial infection
basophils
- darker ballon animal middle but with more dots around it
- increase = allergic/ inflammatory reaction
simple squamous epithelium cells
- single layer of flat cells/ fried egg
- location: line blood vessels (capillaries, veins) + cornea of eye
simple cuboidal epithelium cells
- more cube shaped with round nucleus
- location: esophagus + bile ducts
simple columnar epithelium cells
- long organized, single nucleated stripes
- location: line villa in digestive system (stomach, small intestine, large intestine)
pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium cells
- long overlapping, cilia hairs on the top
- location: respiratory tract (trachea, larynx)
stratified squamous epithelium
- multiple layers of squamous cells
- location: epidermis of skin (keratinocyte layers)
what are the layers of keratinocytes (stratified squamous epithelium cells) in the skin? (outer to inner)
- stratum corneum
- stratum lucidum (thicker skin only)
- stratum granulosum
- stratum spinosum
- stratum basale/ germinativum
- “can long giraffes still bend?”
transitional epithelium cells
- change from small cells to longer cells towards the outside (stretch)
- location: bladder + urethra
areolar connective tissue
- lines spaced out with random nucleus
- location = connecting skin to muscle (blood vessels + nerves)
reticular connective tissue
- way too many cells with little white space (structural / shape support)
- location = kidney + spleen
adipose tissue
- large white blobs (fatty)
- location = sub-q fat under the skin + internal organs + yellow bone marrow
cardiac muscle
- branched
- striated
- one nucleus per branch
skeletal muscle
- tubular/ straight
- striated
- multi-nucleated
osteoclasts
- large round randomly on the inside w/ ruffled membrane
- eat at bone to release calcium
osteoblasts
- line the outside in thin layer
- start of bone formation
osteocytes
- dispersed through bone tissue/ lacuna (outer)
- crystalize
5 components of the axial skeleton
- cervical
- thoracic
- lumbar
- sacral
- coccygeal
forelimb / thoracic limb (proximal to distal)
- scapula
- humorous
- radius
- ulna
- carpal bones (carpus)
- metacarpal bones
- phalanges
