Prelims Flashcards
Can’t be found inside a Mast Cell
Eccentric Nucleus
Few cells, abundant amount of Extracellular Matrix
Connective Tissue
Many cells, small amount of Extracellular Matrix
Epithelial Tissue
Provides the cells that defend the body
Connective Tissue
Orcein Stain (+) Blue to black fibers
Elastic Fiber
Argyrophilic Fiber
Reticular fiber
Effect of Masson’s trichrome to collagen fibers
blue fibers
Must abundant protein in the body
Collagen type 1
Reticular fiber contains
collagen type III
Stem cell theraphy, regenerative medicine, stellate cells, what cell is this?
Mesenchymal cells
Reticular cells
are fibroblasts
Large oval cells with signet ring appearance
adipocytes
Cartwheel appearance
plasma cell
Dissolves and washes away adipose cells
Xylol
Dominant fiber found in the ligamenta flava
Elastic Fiber
Can be mistaken as collagen fiber in H&E stain
Reticular Fiber or Argyrophilic Fiber
Gives a nice microscopic view to reticular fibers
Silver salts and PAS reagent
Reaction of adipose cells to sudan III
Black stain
Presence of microvilli under the electron microscope
mastocytes
Triggered by a potential allergen
mastocytes or mast cell
Lysosomes are seen under the electron microscope
macrophages
Kidney-shaped nucleus
histiocytes
spherical nucleus
plasma cell
compact and dark nucleus
fibrocytes
