Cartilage and Bone

Cells, Fibres and Ground substance

Work systematically to identify the components visible on each slide, drawing or diagram. For each slide in turn, work through the following checklist:
  1. Decide the type of microscope used to create the picture.
  2. Decide the type of staining used.
  3. Estimate the magnification class (very low, low, medium, high and very high) for the combination of staining and microscope.
  4. Identify cells, tissues, organs and structures visible on the slide or diagram.
  5. Determine the function of the cells, tissues, organs and structures.
  6. Which other tissues would look similar?
  7. Some images or diagrams has their own specific instructions. Also refer to HistoWeb and the Histology Workbook.
  8. For some slides, HistoWeb will have additional information and annotations.
  9. You decide where you want to complete slide related work, the Portfolio book or Workbook.
  10. Specific objectives, tasks and slides are available for download.
