    Study Notes

    Lymphoid System

    • Undifferentiated cells around the wall of capillaries are called Pericytes.
    • Thymus dependent zones are present in the Paracortex of the lymph node.

    Thymus

    • The thymus is an organ that has both lymphoid and endocrine functions.

    Tonsils

    • The epithelium layer of the pharyngeal tonsil is Pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium.
    • The Palatine tonsil is located in the Oropharynx.

    Skin

    • Langerhans cells are a type of macrophage found in the skin.
    • Merkel cells are mechanoreceptors.
    • Apocrine sweat glands are found in the axilla.

    Respiratory System

    • The layer under the epithelium of the trachea is Connective tissue.
    • Type II pneumocytes secrete Surfactant.
    • Type I pneumocytes are Simple cuboidal epithelium.

    Blood Air Barrier

    • The blood air barrier does not include the Cytoplasm and basement membrane of the Type II pneumocyte.

    Tongue

    • Filiform papillae do not contain taste buds.
    • The epithelium layer of the dorsal surface of the tongue is Stratified squamous epithelium.
    • Taste buds contain Neuro-epithelium.

    Esophagus

    • The middle third of the esophagus has both Skeletal and smooth muscle.

    Intestine

    • Enteroendocrine cells have an Infraneuclear nucleus.
    • Paneth cells are found in Intestinal crypts.
    • Caveolate cells are chemoreceptors in the small intestine.
    • Peyer's patches are found in the Ileum.

    Salivary Glands

    • The major acini in the sublingual salivary gland are Mucous acini.
    • Centroacinose cells belong to the Intercalary ducts.
    • Intralobular ducts are secretory ducts.

    Liver

    • The liver acinus is Diamond-shaped.
    • Von Kupffer cells stain with Trypan blue.
    • Hepatocytes facing bile canaliculi have Short microvilli.

    Clara Cells

    • Clara cells have a characteristic dome-shaped apical end that projects into the lumen.

    Adrenal Gland

    • Aldosterone is secreted by Zona granulosa cells.
    • Mesangial cells are located in the matrix between glomerular cells.

    Pituitary Gland

    • Somatotrophs secrete growth hormone.

    Testis

    Kidney

    • Bile canaliculi are present between the rows of liver cells.
    • Renal columns are located between renal pyramids.
    • The outer epithelium of the Bowman's capsule is Simple squamous epithelium.
    • The epithelium layer of the prostatic part of the urethra is Transitional epithelium.

    Suprarenal Gland

    • Spongiocytes belong to the Zona fasciculata.
    • Pheochromocytes belong to the Suprarenal medulla.

    Thyroid Gland

    • Thyrotrophs are basophiles.
    • Corticotrophs secrete ACTH.
    • Pars intermedia secretes melanocytes stimulating hormones.

    Pineal Body

    • Pineal body cells secrete melatonin.

    Reproductive System

    • Parafollicular cells contain C-cells.
    • The capsule surrounding the testis is the Tunica vaginalis.
    • Spermatogenic and Sertoli cells form seminiferous tubules.
    • The epithelium lining the epididymis is Pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium.
