Identify:
Macroscopic
Microscopic
Draw and annotate:
The collagen fibers and the different connective tissue nuclei. Draw the different thicknesses, structures and course of the fibers.
Reflection:
- What characteristics are used to distinguish between different types of collagen fibers?
- How are the different connective tissue cells distinguished by their nuclei?
- Are the large, lightly stained nuclei also connective tissue cells?
- How is the amorphous substance distinguished and how does it stain?
