Results
Viewing the target specimens and structures with the standard light microscopes required skill and patience.
Photography of cheek cells, sperm cells, ovary cells, were present
As a resort, research, identification and selection of target specimen photos was performed via internet search for appropriate images.
For Cheek cells small blue crystals were very visual after applying the oil, very hard to focus at first, Mr. Riddell helped but at the end we could get a look of the nucleus which was a small dot in the center
Testes were pink and purple doted cells
The sperm was easy to grab a look under the telescope for its flagellum
Ovary
The oocytes we were focused was one that was in the dividing process the two were about to split, they were joint together
Follicle cells were observed, but I couldnt differentiate under what stage they were exactly
Analysis / Discussion:
Testes are the organs that produce sperm, the male reproductive cell, and androgens
Sperm is the male reproductive cell it contains acrosome nucleus, centrioles, mitochondrial, spiral, and cell membrane of flagellum (head neck middle piece)
The paired ovaries are small, lumpy, almond-shaped organs
Oocyte is the immature ovum and is produced in the ovary during gametogenesis
Mature follicle
Conclusions/Further Considerations:
The testes in males secrete sex hormones called androgens and produce the male gametes which is the sperm The ovaries in females typically release only one immature gamete which is called the oocyte per month In contrast with males that produce one half billion approx. each day of sperm, but only one lucky one will find its way to fertilize the
female egg .

Lab Assignment #: 2
Lab Title: Personal Genetic Profile Date: 140305________________________________
Purpose/ Objective(s):
Profile common genetic traits in myself and family
Profile common genetic traits from classes of Bio 105
Determine patterns of inheritance in my family
Determine if there is a pattern of inherited traits between my family and classmates along with other students from classes of Bio 105
Hypotheses:
I believe we all have at least one trait from our parents or grandparents.
Each trait was passed from generation to generation
But each generation will carry a unique characteristics
As a Hispanic I think my family would not resemble genetic traits from my classmates and other Bio 105 classes

Genetic traits of my parents, husband, my son, my three brothers, my nephew, and niece
A total of four family tree charts, one that includes my moms parents and a total of two uncles and six sisters containing the information I know
of them
Methods/ Tools/ Instruments/ Procedures
The genetic traits asked to classmates and observed on my family members were:
o Bent little finger
o Hitch Hiker Thumb
o Interlacing Fingers
o Pigment iris
o Astigmatism
o Far-Sighted
o Widows peak
o Mid- digital Hair
o Free Vs Attached Ear lobe
o Tongue Rolling
o Dimples Chin
o Freckles
Extra credit genetic traits asked to only 39 students from my class Bio 105 and observed on my family members were:
o Curly or Straight Hair
o Gorlins Sign
o Left or Right Handed (Handedness)
o Second Toe Bigger (Mortons Toe)

Tables of Genetic Traits
Table 1 and 2 shows that I carry my dads genetic trait for astigmatism but dont carry particular traits from my mom for example her widows
peak. I have wavy hair a mix of mom and dad but sadly not her curly hair. However my brother # 3 who is the one that looks like my mom has
her widows peak.
On Table 3,I can see that my husband Luis Mata carrys in his genetic traits widow peak, I dont but my son Jose does. I can also see that my son
has wavy hair he carrys this genetic trait from myself. Jose has his dads second toe bigger than his first toe like my husband Luis.
Table 4 shows my brother # 3 genetic traits with his two kids. I see that both my nephew and niece carry my moms widow peak that actually I
know comes from my moms dad observed on Family tree fig. 4. My niece has curly hair could come from my moms genetic trait. She physically
looks like my mom.
Table 7 shows a majority of my class mates dont have a genetic trait for blue eyes and out of 39 students the majority carry the genetic trait for
Gorlins sign
Figures
Figure 1 show the overall percentage of the traits interviewed and observed from my family and class mates I noticed my family does not have a
gene for mid-digital hair, dimple chin, freckles or Gorlins sign like a wide variety of my class mates has. I was surprised that 25 out of 39 students
from my Bio 105 class have the Gorlins sign trait when my family does not have that generic trait.
Figure 3 shows that there is a similarity between class Bio 105 and my family. The majority is right handed.
Figure 4 shows that the majority of my family members have a bent little finger, Hitch hikers thumb, eye color, tongue rolling, and right handed
have this genetic trait
Figure 5 shows that class Bio 105 students have similar genetic traits such as Eye color, Free vs. Attached Earlobe and Tongue rolling
Figure 7 show that the majority of students including myself do not have mid-digital hair.
Family trees
Fig. 1 shows that my great grandma had a genetic trait for curly hair, she passed it to my grandfather, my grandfather to my mom
Fig. 2 shows the genetic trait from my dad which was passed to me and two out of my three brothers

Fig. 3 shows that my parents dont have the second toe bigger but could have a genetic trait because only one of my brothers (#1) has it.
My husband has this genetic trait and my son has it to
My niece (dad brother #3) has her second toe bigger but I don t know if it comes from her mother because my brother #3 doesnt have it
Fig. 4 shows that we all have bent little fingers from both my parents
However dad does not have widows peak and mom does only brother # 3 has this and his daughter.
My husband has widows peak and my son has this genetic trait too.
Conclusion
I wonder if genetic traits can skip one generation and pass on two the third. I can visually see that my mom has a strong genetic trait for widows
peak and curly hair. I can also see that my grandpa looks like me great grandma and that my mom only passed her genes to two of her kids
separately. Brother # 3 has widows peak and I have wavy hair. I see that my niece from bother #3 has widows peak and curly hair. She carrys
both genetic traits from my grandpa which surprises me. We can also say that my niece carrys one genetic trait from my great grandma which
would be four generations. My son has widows peak and wavy hair but this can be a mixture of both my husband and I. I found interesting that
my son and niece have second toe bigger. For my son it comes from his dad and for my niece possible from her mom. I wonder if this fourth
generation my son and niece would create a new code of genetic traits in their generations to follow.

MAIN Sub Type Sub Type Sub Type Sub Type
Connective Fibrous Loose Areolar 1
This slide shows loose (areolar) connective tissue, which is used extensively
throughout the body for fastening down the skin, membranes, vessels and
nerves as well as binding muscles and other tissues together. The tissue
consist of an extensive network of fibers secreted by cells called fibroblasts.
The most numerous of these fibers are the thicker, lightly-staining collagenous
fibers. Thinner, dark-staining elastic fibers composed of the protein elastin can
also be seen. 3. In the
last slide you can see the gel-like matrix and the fibroblast that are associated
with this tissue.
Beneath dermis of skin, digestive tract, respiratory and
urinary tracts, between muscles, around blood vessels,
nerves, and around joints.
Areolar tissue forms a layer that separates the skin from
deeper structures. It provides padding, and allows for
movement as well. Cushions organs but permits independent
movement; phagocytic cells provide defense against
pathogens.

Connective Fibrous Loose Adipose 2
This slide of a cross section of the mammalian trachea (wind pipe) contains
examples of several different kinds of tissues. In addition to the
pseudostratified columnar epithelium lining the trachea and hyaline cartilage,
also seen on this slide is an extensive area of adipose tissue, which is
specialized for fat storage. On prepared slides, the fat has been removed from
the cells giving the tissue the appearance of fish net. (100 X MAGNIFICATION)
3. The third slide (200 X Magnification) the adipocytes at a bigger size where
we can identify the nucleus inside the membrane which is very close to the
plasma membrane.
The tissue is scattered around the body, and could be under
the skin, protecting organs, such as the liver and kidneys.
Deep to the skin, especially at sides, buttocks, breasts,
padding around eyes.
The purpose of the adipose tissue is to function as the largest
storage reservoir in the body, serving as a thermal insulator, a
cushion for skin, and around organs as well.

In this low-power image of a tendon, a dense regular arranged connective
tissue, note that the eosinophilia collagen fiber bundles are oriented
horizontally. The white spaces represent artificial spacing in the tissue
introduced during processing. 3. Shows the large number of fibers which are
packed in long parallel bundles. The purple dot where the arrow is pointing is
the Fibroblast nuclei.

Connective Fibrous Dense Irregular 5
In this slide of dense, irregular connective tissue, it shows strong and dense
collagen fibers in random arrays, as the forces here are transmitted across
tissues in a non-linear manner. 3.The name irregular comes because of the
visible randomly arranged collagen fibers with very few fibroblasts.
Capsules of visceral organs; periosteal and perichondria;
nerve and muscle sheaths; deep dermis of skin, articular
capsules of synovial joints.
Provides strength to resist forces applied from many

Connective Fibrous DenseElastic
(Ligaments)6
These tendons and ligaments of the body require strength and stretch
capabilities. In this side by side comparison of dense, regular, fibrous tissues
of collagen fibers and elastic fibers cut in cross section, the relative sizes of
fibers is compared. Notice how large and robust the collagen fibers are
compared to the smaller elastic types. Nuclei of fibroblasts visible along the
edges of fiber are a good indicator these are tendons in cross section.
These are found in tendons and ligaments in the human
body, that require strength and stretch capabilities,
constructed of primary elastic fibers. For example, tendons
and ligaments attaching to the vertebrae in the neck region.
Tendons are cords of dense regular connective tissue that
attach skeletal muscles to bones. Their collagen fibers run
along the length of the tendon and transfer the pull of the
contracting muscle to the bone. Ligaments resemble tendons
but connect one bone to another. Ligaments often contain
elastic fibers as well as collagen fibers and thus can tolerate a
modest amount of stretching.

Connective Supportive Cartilage Hyaline 7
Hyaline cartilage is distinguished by its homogenous matrix surrounding the
small nests of chondrocytes. Notice the perichondrium which surrounds hyaline
cartilage.
Bar= 250 Microns
Hyaline cartilage is found in my joint surfaces. Between tips
of ribs and bones of sternum; covering bone surfaces at
synovial joints; supporting larynx (voice box), trachea, and
bronchi; forming part of nasal septum. Typically,
perichondrium is found around hyaline cartridge.
Provides stiff but somewhat flexible support; reduces friction
between bony surfaces, allows movement, responsible for
longitude growth in bone in neck regions of long bones.

Elastic cartilage is found in the auricle of external ear;
epiglottis; auditory canal; cuneiform cartilages of larynx.
Elastic cartilage is similar to hyaline, but in addition to the
collagenous fibers, the matrix of the elastic also contains an
abundant network of branched yellow elastic fibers. Provides
support, but tolerates distortion without damage and returns
to original shape.

Fibrocartilage ideally assumes a herring bone pattern. It has a linear orientation
related to it's function. Always look for the isolated chondrocytes in their
lacunae.
Bar= 50 Microns 3. The chondrocytes in lacunae in this gorgeous
slide would be the darker color dots that lie in the fibrous matrix. The canals
which open in the bone marrow cavity and the osteons with their central
cavities.
Fibro cartilage is found in pads within knee joint; between
pubic bones of pelvis; intervertebral discs.
Resists compression, prevents bone-to-bone contact; limits
movement. It possesses a more open or spongy architecture
with gaps between lacunae and collagen fiber bundles.

Connective Supportive Bone Compact 10
(Slide #1)This slide contains a section of dried compact bone. Note that the
bone matrix is deposited in concentric layers called lamellae. The basic unit of
structure in compact bone is the osteon. In each osteon, the lamellae are
arranged around a central Haversian canal that houses nerves and blood
vessels in living bone. The osteocytes (bone cells) are located in spaces called
lacunae, which are connected by slender branching tubules called canaliculi.
These "little canals" radiate out from the lacunae to form an extensive network
connecting bone cells to each other and to the blood supply. 3. In this
slide the yellow arrows are the lacuna of the osteocytes.
Osseous tissue or bone is found throughout the body, neck as
phalanges or finger bones, spinal vertebrae, humerus or arm
bone, febor or leg bone.
Bone is the major structural support in the body. Bone tissue
supports muscles, organs, and soft tissues. It provides
leverage and movement to the synovial joints and protection
for critical organs. Bone also stores calcium phosphate,
mineral storage, and hemopoiesis, the formation of blood
cells.

Connective Supportive Spongy 11
This first slide shows spongy cancellous bone, at 40x, which makes up the
interior of bones. In long bones, spongy bone forms the interior of the
epiphyses; the shaft consists of compact bone surrounding the central marrow
cavity. Slide #2 shows at microscope 400x. The marrow in these images is red
marrow. Red marrow contains blood stem cells and blood cells in all stages of
development. 3. This
Spongy bone is the tissue that makes up the interior of
bones; compact bone is the tissue that forms the surface of
bones. In long bones, spongy bone forms the interior of the
epiphyses; the shaft consists of compact bone surrounding
the central marrow cavity.
The construction of spongy bone tissue is quite different that
that of compact bone. One key difference is the absence of
osteons. Spongy bone as the name implies is more open and
in cross-section offers a compartamentalizedappearance not
unlike a sponge. Consisting of interconnecting "struts" of
bone called trabecular, spongy bone has abundant spaces
typically occupied by bone marrow and adipose tissue.

Connective Fluid BloodErythrocytes
Red Blood CellsErythrocytes 12
In this slide, it shows a human blood smear, with a Leishman stain,
showing erythrocytes. In a suitable area of the blood smear, they
erythrocytes rarely form clumps or rows. Instead, they are more evenly
spaced and occasionally form groups of 2-3 cells. Due to the biconcave
shape of the erythrocytes, their center will look lighter than their
periphery. 3. This slide shows a disease called sickle cell anemia which
decreases the blood ability to deliver oxygen to the tissues. the shape of
the rbc in this slide is different to the others, this one is crescent shaped,
elongated, and stiffened, reducing its ability to deliver the oxygen.
Erythrocytes are one of the red blood cells, and are small,
round, bi-concave discs that float in the blood plasma. They
are actually yellowish in color but when present in large
numbers they are red. Each adult red blood cell represents a
cell without a nucleus, which is surrounded by a thin, elastic
membrane. They are soft, flexible, and elastic, and therefore
move easily through the narrow blood capillaries.
The erythrocytes transport oxygen in the blood from the
lungs to all cells and tissues of the body. Red blood
corpuscles also assist with transport of cardon oxide from
tissues to the lungs. They play an important part in regulating
the acid-base balance of the blood, thus preventing large
changes in pH. They also assist when a blood clot is formed.

Connective Fluid Blood
Leukocytes
White Blood
Cells
GRANULOCYTES Basophil 13
Basophil: This basophilic granules in this cell on this slide are large, stain
deep blue to purple, and are often so numerous they mask they nucleus.
These granules contain histamine (cause vasodilation) and heparin
(coagulant). In a Differential WBC count we rarely see these as they
represent less than 1% of all leukocytes. If the count showed an
abnormally high number of these cells, hemolytic anemia or chicken pox
may be the cause.
Basophils are also a white blood cell found in blood, are less
than 1% of all WBCs, accumulate in damaged tissue, release
histamine to dilate blood vessels, and release heparin to
prevent blood clotting. Originally discovered in 1879 by Paul
Erlich.
Basophils appear in several kinds of inflammatory responses
of the body, such as parasitic infections and allergic reactions.

Connective Fluid Blood GRANULOCYTES Eoisinophils 14
Eosinophil: In this blood smear, the eosinophil is shown, with the two
lobes of the nucleus well defined and of about equal size. The nucleus is
embedded in a cytoplasm crowded with granules, which seem to form a
solid mass in the cell. 3. In this slide we see a stained eosinophil in
peripheral blood. Eoisinophils are recluted to an infection site where they
discharge their toxic, granular content to fight the infection.
Eosinophil's are a white blood cell found in blood, and are
specialized cells formed in bone marrow before moving to
the blood vessel.
Eoisinophils are implicated in numerous inflammatory
processes, especially allergic disorders. Functions include:
movement to inflamed areas, trapping substances, killing
cells, antiparasitic and bactericidal activity, participating in
immediate allergic reactions, and modulating inflammatory
responses.

Connective Fluid Blood GRANULOCYTES Neutrophil 15
Neutrophil: This granulocyte on this slide has very tiny light staining
granules (the granules are very difficult to see) . The nucleus is frequently
mulit-lobed with lobes connected by thin strands of nuclear material.
These cells are capable of phagocytizing foreign cells, toxins, and viruses.
Neutrophils are also a WBC, also called polymorph nuclear
leukocytes. When taking a Differential WBC Count of normal
blood, this type of cell would be the most numerous.
Normally, neutrophils account for 50-70% of all leukocytes.
Neutrophils appear in the blood. They are first to attack
bacteria. They engulf pathogens. If the count exceeds
normal, cause is usually due to an acute infection such as
appendicitis, smallpox or rheumatic fever. If the count is
considerably less, it may be due to a viral infection such as
influenza, hepatitis, or rubella.

Monocyte: This cell slide shows it is the larges of the leukocytes and is
granular. The nucleus is most often "U" or kidney bean shaped; the
cytoplasm is abundant and light blue (more blue than this micrograph
shows). These cells leave the bloodstream (diapedesis)to become
macrophages. As a monocyte or macrophage, these cells are phagocytic
and defend the body against viruses and bacteria. 3.Monocytes are the
leukocyte that is the most problematic for identification, because they
can be fairly variable in size and appearance. They are often larger than
neutrophils and are usually the largest leukocyte. The nucleus can be
round to kidney-shaped to pseudo-lobulated (can mimic a neutrophil). It
Monocytes are also a WBC, 2-8% of the circulating WBCs in
the human body. They are large and spherical
Monocytes enter peripheral tissues and become
macrophages. They engulf large particles and pathogens.
They secrete substances that attract immune system cells and
fybrocytes to injured area.

Connective Fluid Blood AGRANULOCYTES Lymphocyte 17
Lymphocyte: The lymphocyte in this slide is an granular cell with very
clear cytoplasm which stains pale blue. Its nucleus is very large for the size
of cell and stains dark purple.(Notice that the nucleus almost fills the cell
leaving a very small rim of cytoplasm). This cell is much smaller than the
three granulocytes (which are all about the same size) 3.The nucleus
(central structure) of a lymphocyte is made of large groupings of thin
threads known as chromatin. The nucleus of a lymphocyte stains dark
purple/blue when exposed to a stain known as Wright's stain. You can see
what this looks like below. As you can see, the nucleus is usually round
but can be slightly indented. Also, the nucleus is surrounded by a small
amount of light blue cytoplasm (a gel-like substance that fills up a cell).
Lymphocytes are also a WBC, the 2nd most common
leukocyte, accounting for 25-35% of cells counted in an
Differential WBC count. They are larger than RBCs, and
migrate in and out of the blood. Mostly found in connective
tissues and lymphoid organs. They are also part of the body's
defensive system. There are three types: T cells, B cells, and
NK (natural killer) cells.
Lymphocytes play an important role in our immune response.
The T-lymphocytes act against virus infected cells and tumor
cells. The B-lymphocytes produce antibodies. When the
number of these cells exceeds the normal amount, one
would suspect mononucleosis or a chronic infection. Patients
with AIDS keep a close watch on their T cells, an indicator of
the activity of the virus.

Connective Fluid Blood "Big Eaters" Macrophage 18
Macrophage. Their nuclei are pink. 3.The
pulmonary alveolar macrophage is an active, phagocytic cell which lives
on the air side of the blood/air barrier. Note that one end of the cell has
active pseudopodia and is forming a ruffle. This is the leading edge of the
cell. The interior of the macrophage is filled with lysosomes and other
organelles. A major player in the body's immune system, this white blood
cell is probing an air sac in a human lung with pneumonia. It was looking
for debris, bacteria or other foreign matter that it would have ingested
like a tiny vacuum cleaner. x7000
Almost every tissue in the body shelters resident or visiting
macrophages. Macrophages are cells that recycle other cells.
Macrophages (phagocytic cells) in the liver, spleen, and bone
marrow usually recognize and engulf RBCs before they
undergo hemolysis, in the process recycling hemoglobin and
other components of RBCs.
Macrophages are phagocytic; they process and present
antigen to immunocompetent lymphoid cells. They remove
and digest the by-products of both bacterial warfare and
normal growth and degeneration. Macrophages contain
numerous lysosomes which as used for breaking down
ingested material. Resting macrophages are difficult to
recognize by light microscopy, at least in routine
preparations, because they lack distinguishing characteristics.

Connective Fluid Blood Platelets 19
Platelets: This slide shows platelets in a blood smear. The platelets are
smaller than RBCs. Platelets do not have a nucleus, but do contain
mitochondria, a micro tubular and actin cytoskeleton, glycogen granules,
some Golgi and ribosomes. 3. Shows Platelets aggregate together in this
bone marrow aspirate forming a large clump.
Platelet production is in the bone marrow. Normal platelet
count is 150,000 - 300,000 per mL of blood, but since platelets
are so small, they make up just a tiny fraction of blood
volume. Platelets are produced from very large bone marrow
cells called megakaryocytes. Platelets contain protein on
their surface that allow them to stick to breaks in the blood
vessel wall and also to stick to each other.
Function of platelets includes: release important clotting
chemicals, temporarily patch damaged vessel walls, actively
contract tissue after clot formation. Principle function is to
prevent bleeding.

Connective Fluid Blood Plasma 20
This slide shows plasma cells (labeled PC) in connective tissue underlying
a palatines tonsil. Typical features of plasma cells include an ovoid shape,
basophilic cytoplasm, eccentrically placed nucleus, and a coarse chromatin
pattern. 400x Slides 2 and 3.(A) Mature plasma cell (MPC). Note
clumped chromatin, eccentric nucleus, and perinuclear hof; (B) Plasma
blast (PB). Note fine chromatin, large nucleus, scanty cytoplasm, and no
perinuclear hof. Also note immature plasma cell (IMM) with nucleus
resembling plasma blasts, but abundant cytoplasm. Magnification 100.
Plasma makes up 50-60% of blood volume. More than 90% of
plasma is water. Plasma proteins include: globulins,
albumins, and fibrinogen.
Plasma functions: maintain blood pressure and volume to
supplying critical proteins for blood clotting. Also serves as
medium for exchange of vital minerals such as sodium and
potassium and help maintain a proper pH balance. Plasma can
also be taken as a blood donation, and frozen, can be stored
up to one year, and thawed before use, for trauma patients
and patients with severe liver disease or multiple clotting
deficiencies.

Connective Lymph Lymph 21
Here in this slide, it shows a lymph node. Lymph nodes are small lymphoid
organs distributed throughout the body at specific locations and connected to
other nearly nodes by lymphatic vessels carrying lymph fluid. A node consists
of two main regions cortex (long left arrow) and medullar (arrowhead). The blood
vessels and efferent lymphatic channel pass through hilum (bottom arrow). 3.
The smallest Lymph vessels are often difficult to distinguish from capillaries
and small venules except for their greater variability in form and cross-sectional
area. Larger lymphatic resemble small venous channels, but have somewhat
thinner walls, less well-defined tunics, and an abundance of valves. Obviously,
lymphatic channels should contain lymph fluid (and lymphocytes) in contrast to
venous and arterial channels which will contain the expected blood elements.
Lymphoid tissues are collections of loose connective tissue
and lymphocytes in structures called lymphoid nodules; an
example is the tonsils. Lymphoid organs are more complex
structures that contain large numbers of lymphocytes and are
connected to lymphatic vessels; examples include the lymph
nodes, spleen, and thymus.
The primary function of lymph node is to respond to non-self
antigens and generate antigen-specific soluble antibodies
from mature plasma cells.

Muscle Smooth 23
This slide shows smooth muscle. Smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped and
uninucleate (-B in slide). Cells are non-striated, with a single central nucleus,
small and tapered, and can divide and regenerate. 3.Smooth muscle is non-
striated and involuntarily controlled. It is found in blood vessels.
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs like
your intestines and stomach. It is also found in the walls of
blood vessels and in digestive, respiratory, urinary, and
reproductive organs.
Moves food, urine, and reproductive tract secretions; controls
diameter of respiratory passageways; regulates diameter of
blood vessels. They work automatically without you being
aware of them. Smooth muscles are involved in many
'housekeeping' functions of the body. The muscular walls of
your intestines contract to push food through your body.
Muscles in your bladder wall contract to expel urine from
your body. Smooth muscles in a woman's uterus (or womb)
help to push babies out of the body during childbirth. The
pupillary sphincter muscle in your eye is a smooth muscle
that shrinks the size of your pupil.

Heart. This type of muscle is only located in the heart. Unlike
other types of muscle, cardiac muscle never gets tired. It
works automatically and constantly without ever pausing to
rest. Cardiac muscle contracts to squeeze blood out of your
heart, and relaxes to fill your heart with blood.
Cardiac muscle controls all blood flow throughout the body.
Cardiac muscle tissue contracts without neural stimulation by
specialized cardiac muscle cells called pacemaker cell. Cardiac
muscle cannot undergo tetanus.

Nervous Neurons 25The first slide shows neurons with a low magnification and as the slides
progress, the magnification increasing showing a nucleus (as a purple dot), the
class bodies, the axon and the dendrites.
Neurons are located throughout the body and are needed
pretty much everywhere, but they are mostly needed in the
brain, the control centers for the nervous systems and spinal
cords where they are used the most.
Nervous tissue are responsible for sensing stimuli and
transmitting signals to and from different parts of an
organism. The basic unit of nervous tissue are neurons. There
are 2 major parts of neurons which include the cell body and
nerve processes. Within the nerve processes, there are axons
and dendrites.
Neuroglia
Is there another subset of
classification for this
group of cells
CNS AstrocytesThree sub
categories26
These slides show similarities in magnification in astrocytes. A key thing to
look for when identifying astrocytes are that they will be star-shaped. In these
slides you can see the differences in viewpoints, but the similarities that all
astrocytes share in design.
Astrocytes are found in the brain's capillaries and form
the blood-brain barrier that restricts what substances can
enter the brain.
The functions of astrocytes consist of secretions and
absorption of neural transmitters and maintenance of the
bloodbrain barrier. Although they were previously
considered "gap fillers." Astrocytes provide physical support
to neurons, clean up carcasses to dead neurons, provide
controlling chemicals to neurons, and play a role in providing
nourishment to neurons.
fibrous astrocyte 27
The first two slides show fibrous astrocytes in a magnification of 40X where you
can view the star-shaped design and see the fibrous astrocyte less zoomed.
The third slide shows the fibrous astrocyte in a higher magnification, but
exactly the same as in the second slide.
Fibrous astrocytes are found in white matter and connect to
nerve fibers.
Fibrous astrocytes are frequent with myelinated nerve fibers
in the white matter of the CNS. Organelles seen in the
somata of neurons are also seen in astrocytes, but they are
more scattered. These cells are characterized by the presence
of numerous fibrils in their cytoplasm.
protoplasmic 28
The first slide shows a view of the protoplasmic astrocytes in a low
magnification and labels identifying the astrocytes. The second slide shows a
higher magnification of the protoplasmic astrocytes with an arrow showing
where specifically to look. The third slide shows protoplasmic astrocytes as
well.
Protoplasmic astrocytes form in the blood-brain barrier and
are found in gray matter.
In correlation to fibrous astrocytes, protoplasmic astrocytes
occur in the gray matter of the CNS. They have fewer fibrils
within their cytoplasm, and cytoplasmic organelles are
scattered, so that the somata are shaped by surrounding
neurons and fibers.
radial astrocytes 29
3. Sagittal section of fish, shows radial astrocytes arising from near the
ventricle span the entire width of the rectum, terminating as end feet in
the surface. There are three forms of astrocytes in the CNS. These
are, fibrous, protoplasmic, and radial astrocytes. Fibrous astroglia
are generally found in white matter, have few organelles, and long
unbranched processes. Protoplasmic glia have a huge quantity of
organelles relative to fibrous cells, with short and highly branched
cellular processes. They are generally found in gray matter. Radial
astroglia exist at the intersection of gray matter and the via mater,
which is the innermost layer of the membranes surrounding the
brain and spinal cord. Radial glia are also found in the vertebrate
Radial Astrocyte is a type of astrocyte with a radial
orientation commonly found in spinal cord and brain of lower
vertebrate and sometimes in the optic nerve.
Radial astrocyte are known to divide symmetrically to
produce neurons that migrate into the cortex along the fiber
of their progenitor.
Oligodendrocytes 30
Oligodendrocytes: On this slide, several oligodendroglia cells are shown
above in a Golgi stain. Oligodendrocytes are considerably smaller than
astrocytes and have fewer cell processes. The perikarya are round and dark.
Relatively few cell processes are emanate from a Oligodendrocytes body.
3.Electron micrograph showing branched Oligodendrocytes with processes
extending to several underlying axons
Oligodendrocytes are neuroglia (supporting cells) and are
found in the central nervous system. They have smaller cell
bodies and fewer processes (cytoplasmic extensions) than
astrocytes.
Oligodendrocytes are a neurological cell recognized by the
central nervous system and form myelin in the central
nervous system. The e plasma membrane at the tip of each
process forms a thin, expanded pad that wraps around an
axon.
Ependymal 31Ependymal: this slide shows the wall of a ventricle. The cells in an row are the
ependymal cells and the space above them is the ventricle itself.
Ependymal cells line both the central canal of the spinal
cord and the chambers (ventricles) of the brain, which are
cavities in the CNS that are fi lied with cerebrospinal filled
(CSF). The is lining of epithelial cells is called the ependyma.
In some regions of the brain, the ependyma produces CSF,
and the cilia on ependymal cells in other locations help
circulate this fluid within and around the CNS.
Ependymal cells form sheets of cells that line canals and
spaces of the CNS. Takes part in creating fluid and moving
fluid.
Microglia 32
Microglia: This slide shows microglia eating up necrotic myelin lipid following
a stroke. Microglia are difficult to find. These glial cells have small elongate
perikarya and short cell processes. They comprise only about 4% of the glial
cell population under normal circumstances.
Microglia are in the central nervous system. They are known
as macrophages. Microglia are the smallest and least
numerous of the neuroglia in the CNS. Microglia are
phagocytic cells derived from white blood cells that migrated
into the CNS as the nervous system formed. T eye perform
protective functions such as engulfing cellular waste and
pathogens.
Microglia perform protective functions such as engulfing
cellular waste and pathogens.
PNS Schwam 33
In this microscope picture of some living Schwann cells rendered
in color through computer enhancement, the cell body of one cell
appears reddish-brown and lies on top of another cell's process
(light blue). Extending from the cell body is one of the main
processes of the Schwann cell (they generally have two extending
out in opposite directions). This process branches. Notice the very
fine processes, especially mid-left in the image
Schwann cell are found throughout the entire peripheral
nervous system. They re found in the principal gilia of the
peripheral of the nervous system.
They are supporting cells that usually wrap themselves
around the nerve axons in order to prevent any damage from
coming to them. Provide the insulation to neurons in the
peripheral nervous system.
Satellite cells 34Satellite Cells are shown as the purple dots. 3. The satellite cells surround the
neuron cell body. They have no cytoplasm .
This cells envelop the bodies of neurons in the peripheral
nervous system.
Cells are present in nervous and
