|
R/F
|

This specimen is a spread of the mesenterium that is stained for elastic fibers.
|
Identify microscopically :
- Elastic fibers
Mast cell granules
Draw and annotate:
Elastic fibers and mast cell granules. Indicate clearly the thicknesses, course and branching of the elastic fibers.
Reflection:
- What characteristics are used to identify elastic fibers?
- How do elastic fibers differ from collagen fibers?
