Identification

Histology Identification

Procedure:
- Study the image and prompt/question on each slide.
- Type in the name of the tissue or cell as asked or answer to the question on
- Use all lowercase letters

Identify this single layer of flattened cells that
line air sacs of lungs (alveoli).

1

​ Identification

Several layers of cells, flattened
shaped cells at the apical surface.
The specific one pictured has a basal cell layer that neighboring a dense
connective tissue called the
“dermis”

2

One layer of tall, rectangular cells with round/oval
nucleus located at basal end. May be ciliated. Line
uterus, stomach, intestines.

3

The hyaline variety of this specialized connective tissue. Forms embryonic
skeleton and
covers ends of long
bones at joints.
The “purple jelly”
in the picture
below is a rigid
matrix

4

The hyaline variety. Forms
embryonic skeleton and covers

Name the mature cells of
this tissue (pinkish dots in
the middle of the white
spaces)

​ 5

Striated, multinucleate version. Voluntary action
in contraction. Found in the organs that move
your skeleton around

6

Layers of cells that line/cover. The layers slide past
each other allowing for distension of an organ, like
the urinary bladder.

7

Looks like layers of cells but is actually one layer of
elongated cells with nuclei at different “heights” in
each cell. Ciliated, good at moving mucous; lines
respiratory passages.

8

Useful for cushioning, insulation and long-term
energy storage. Cells are housed in a fluid-gel
matrix. “Empty spaces” in the image below are fat
droplets. This is a type
of connective tissue

9

A category of connective tissue with cells housed in a fluid-gel matrix. Forms tendons, ligaments, and the deep layer of skin called
dermis.

10

Specialized connective tissue with cells called osteocytes housed in solid matrix consisting of protein and minerals.

11

Specialized connective tissue with cells housed in a fluid matrix called plasma. Transports gases, defends against disease, aids in clotting. Travels in vessels.

12

This tissue
allows for sensory
reception/motor
response,
electrochemical
communication
throughout the body.
