Study Notes
Histology and Microscopy
- The microscopic study of tissues is called histology
- There are four primary tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue
Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue covers and protects surfaces, both outside and inside the body
- Epithelial cells are characterized by being tightly packed, having a free surface, and being avascular
- Epithelial cells do not have the ability to divide and move to a new location
Types of Epithelial Tissue
- Simple squamous epithelium is primarily located in the alveoli of the lungs, kidney glomeruli, and blood vessels
- Pseudostratified squamous epithelium is commonly found in the respiratory tract, particularly in the trachea and bronchi
- Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is located in the oral cavity, esophagus, and vagina
- Simple columnar epithelium can be found in the digestive tract, particularly in the stomach and intestines
- Transitional epithelium is located in the urinary system, specifically in the bladder and ureters
- Stratified cuboidal epithelium can be found in the ducts of glands and the ovaries
- Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is primarily located in the epidermis of the skin
- Simple cuboidal epithelium can be found in the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and ovarian follicles
- Stratified columnar epithelium is primarily located in the pharynx and larynx
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue is commonly found in the skin, bones, and/cartilages
Microscopy
- The maximum resolution of a light microscope is 0.2 µm
- A compound microscope uses visible light as the source of illumination and produces a useful magnification of about 1000 times
- A compound microscope is distinguished from a simple microscope by having multiple lenses
- A stereo microscope has very low magnifying power (up to 300x) and is commonly known as an ordinary microscope
- Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is considered the 'father of microscopy'
Types of Microscopes
- A bright-field microscope uses visible light as a source of illumination and produces a useful magnification of about 1000 times, but cannot resolve structures smaller than about 0.2 µm
- A dark-field microscope is used to examine living microorganisms that are invisible in bright-field microscopy by using a darkfield condenser instead of the normal condenser
- A fluorescence microscope uses light of higher intensity as a light source instead of visible light, and produces a bright image on a dark background after the specimen is stained with a fluorescent dye
- A transmission electron microscope (TEM) uses the electron beam as an illumination source and has a resolving power far greater than that of light microscopes, making it suitable for studying smaller objects such as viruses or molecules smaller than 0.2 µm
- A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to examine cells and cell structures at very high magnification and resolution, allowing the visualization of individual protein and nucleic acid molecules
- A transmission electron microscope (TEM) is used to observe the ultrastructure of microorganisms, large molecules, biopsy samples, metals, and crystals by using the electron beam as an illumination source
- A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to obtain magnifications of up to 400,000 times to view cells and cell structures in detail
