Histology is the science of microscopic structures of human tissues and organs. Understanding the normal morphology and function of organs is important not only in the early years of medical school, but also serves as a foundation for pathology. Understanding disease mechanisms in terms of altered human body structure necessitate a thorough understanding of histology. Identify the tissue depicted in the below micrograph.

Histology is the study of human cells Dense regular connective tissue containing a high proportion of elastic fibers lines the inner surface of the human mouth. Connective tissue lines hollow tubes such blood vessels and the GI tract. Hyaline is irregularly arranged collagen fibers found in joint capsules

Osteocytes exist in a tiny void called a lacuna. Cardiac muscle tissues is involuntary, possess a single nucleus, branched fibers, striations, and intercalated discs. The epithelial layer of skin is made of which type of tissue? Stratified squamous epithelium. Collagen and elastin are fibers associated with areolar tissue. The kidney tubules are composed of simple cuboidal epithelium for absorption and secretion. Chondrocytes cells produce cartilage. The salivary glands are a good example of a (an) exocrine gland. Neuroglial cells support and nourish neurons. All connective tissues arise from one stem cell called mesenchyme. The scientific name for a white blood cell is leukocyte. All epithelial tissues rest upon a basement membrane. The main fiber type associated with dense connective tissue is collagen. The concentric rings observed in a typical cross-section through bone are called lamellae. Smooth muscle is involuntary and lacks striations. Dendritic processes of the neuron always transmit impulses towards the cell body. Dense connective tissue is located in tendons which attach muscles to bones. The epithelial tissue found lining the trachea is called pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Two locations of hyaline cartilage in the body are the nose and the ends of long bones. All muscles, bones, and circulatory blood vessels originate from one type of germ tissue called mesoderm. The surface of any epithelial cell that is facing the lumen is called the apical surface. The mucus-producing cells found in many types of epithelial tissue are called goblet cells. One site of transitional tissue in the body is the urinary bladder. The liquid matrix of blood is called plasma. One location of reticular tissue in the body is the lymph nodes. The function of a red blood cell is to transport oxygen to body cells via blood vessels. The scientific name for bone tissue is osseous tissue. Microvilli, or modification of the cell membrane in many epithelial tissues, are commonly called "brush border" cells. Smooth muscle is the muscle of organs. The insulating connective tissue observed in the hypodermis is adipose tissue. Glands that release their secretions by exocytosis are called merocrine exocrine glands. Osteocytes produce bone tissue. One location of dense irregular connective tissue is the dermis. The intestines are lined with simple columnar epithelium which is ideal for absorption of nutrients. One location of fibrocartilage within the body is the intervertebral discs. The tissue that makes up the air sacs of the lungs is ideal for gas exchange. This tissue type is called simple squamous epithelium.
