Study Notes
Types of Tissue Sections
- Longitudinal Section (l.s.): A tissue slice made along the longest axis of the organ, preserving the natural structure in length.
- Cross Section (c.s. or x.s.): A perpendicular cut made across the length of the organ, allowing observation of internal structures in a circular or oval shape.
- Transverse Section (t.s.): Another term for the cross section, emphasizing the horizontal nature of the cut.
- Oblique Section: A slice made at an angle that lies between longitudinal and cross sections, capturing unique features not visible in the other two types.
