Histology Resources?

I've already seen recommended resources like Shotgun Histology and Blue Histology, but I was wondering if anyone knew any histology resources that help with 3D VISUALIZATION. I'm terrible at converting 2D to 3D images in my head.

Yesterday, I was reading up for hours on how the embryo develops and looking at 2D images presented in so many resources and couldn't understand it at all, which was frustrating the hell out of me, but I finally found one YouTube video that presented development of the embryo using clay models, and it started to become crystal clear because I could see it in 3D.

So are there any resources that help with 3D visualization of histology?

Not sure why you need 3D histo. This is more cellular
level than tissue level but whatever:

Also Dongmei Cui's Atlas of Histology has good "3D" images.

I want to see it in 3D so that when I look at a 2D image I can understand how the cells are positioned in the actual tissue from which the slice was taken so that I can better understand what the tissues and organs actually look like at the cellular level as opposed to just being able to look at some cells and identify them based on certain characteristics. I feel like the latter doesn't give you much appreciation for how histology fits into the grand scheme of things.

Thanks! Have you tried the website videos yourself? Did you like them?

Fair enough. Histo is such a low-yield topic, that's why I asked. But I guess if you have the time and are doing well in everything else there's never anything wrong with learning/understanding more.

Sorry, I'm afraid I haven't tried the videos. I know of people who have and they like the videos. But I personally haven't tried the videos. To be honest, I don't think histology really needs such in-depth coverage. Most of the relevant histology is to better understand a far more important subject i.e. pathology.

• Would some one be able to shed some light on the following question?
• All are true about lymphatic circulatory system/lymph except (1 pt):
• a) is adjunct to blood vascular system.
• b) is an open system with an irregular pump; lymph moves quickly and under high pressure.
• c) its vessels contain circulating lymph, reabsorbed tissue fluid.
• d) lymph is transported from lymphatic capillaries to progressively larger lymphatic vessels/trunks culminating in the right lymphatic duct (for lymph from the right upper body) and the thoracic duct (for the rest of the body).
• e) the thoracic duct and the right lymphatic duct drain lymph back into the blood circulatory system at the junction of the left subclavian vein and left jugular vein and at the right subclavian vein, respectively.

B?

can you explain why?

 

[FindMeOnTheLinks]

lymph moves slowly and is not under high pressure. It has no central pump, and relies on contraction of smooth muscle in lymphatic vessel walls as well as skeletal muscle contraction to move.

All the other choices are correct

read the junquiera book. a shotgun histology on youtube is also really good.


histo is pretty low yield, but you should be able to interpret basic stains of tissue.
