Parts and FUNctions
The lens closest to your eyes has a magnification of....
What is 10X?
This tissue type is classified by a single layer of flat cells.
Simple Squamous Epithelium
The most abundant type of blood cell, bioconclave disks with a nucleus.
Erythrocytes (Red blood cells)
These are the three types of muscle tissues.
Smooth, Skeletal, Cardiac
This is the flat platform where the slide is placed.
What is....the Mechanical Stage?
This tissue type is characterized by a single layer of tall, cylindrical cells with oval-shaped nuclei.
Simple columnar epithelium
This cell type is crucial to the immune system. Round in shape with a distinct nucleus.
Leukocytes (WBC)
The specialized muscle tissue found in the heart
Cardiac Muscle
This is the part of the microscope where the illuminator is located
What is...the Base
This tissue type is characterized by cube shaped cells with spherical nuclei.
Simple cuboidal epithelium
One of the four kinds of bone cells, responsible for the bony matrix. They ook like sticky little starts that will grab you.
Osteocytes
The type of muscle tissue attached to the bones and responsible for voluntary movements of the body.
Skeletal muscle
This is the 100X objective that requires immersion oil to work properly.
What is.... the Oil Immersion Objective?
This tissue type is found where protection from abrasion and friction is needed.
Stratified squamous epithelium
This cell type is found within the cartilage and is responsible for maintaining the extracellular matrix. They look like eyeballs floating in goo.
Chondrocytes
This the the type of cartilage that is glass like and translucent, found on joint surfaces.
Hyaline cartilage
These are the lenses a microscope has in order from lowest to highest magnification.
Objective, Scanning, Low Power, High, Oil Immersion
This is a unique type of stratified epithelium found in the urinary system. It is able to stretch and contract.
Transitional epithelium
Fibrous proteins that provide structural support and strength to various tissues in the body. They look like noodles with fleas.
Collagen Fibers
This is the connective tissue that bridges the gap between dense fibrous tissue and hyaline cartilage.
Fibrocartilage
