Nervous tissue (practicum) (1st Faculty of Medicine UK)

In the practical exercise, the following preparations are microscoped:

L1 - Cerebrum (HE)

L2 - Cerebrum (Nissl)

L3 - Cerebellum (HE)

L4 - Cerebellum (impregnation)

L5 - Spinal cord (HE)

L6 - Plexus chorioideus

L7 - Nerve – longitudinal section

L8 - Nerve – transverse section

L9 - Vegetative ganglion

L10 - Cerebrospinal ganglion

L11 - Neuromuscular spindle

L1 - Cerebrum (HE)

 * pyramidal neurons
 * round nucleus with a nucleolus
 * nuclei of glial cells
 * neuropil

L2 - Cerebrum (Nissl)

 * neurocytes (perikarya) of pyramidal cells
 * round nucleus with a nucleolus
 * Nissl substance (RER)

L3 - Cerebellum (HE)

 * Purkinje cells
 * round nucleus with a nucleolus
 * stratum granulosum neurons
 * white matter

L4 - Cerebellum (impregnation)

 * axons parallel to the thread surface
 * dendrites of Purkinje cells
 * plexus of fibers around the Purkinje cell body
 * bundles of fibers in the white matter

L5 - Spinal cord (HE)
The spinal cord is one of the histology samples for which orientation per fenetram is very useful. Even when looking against the window, the spinal cord can be recognized, it looks like an ordinary transverse section of the spinal cord well known from anatomy classes.
 * multipolar motoneurons of the anterior horns
 * nucleus with nucleolus
 * rough endoplasmic reticulum
 * ependyma of the central canal
 * myelinated white matter fibers
