BIO 264 HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY LABORATORY

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is the laboratory component of the first semester of Human Anatomy and Physiology (BIO 264). The lab exercises will focus primarily on the application and demonstration of concepts presented in lecture.

Unit 1 - Histology

Histology is the study of the tissues of the body. Moreover, tissues are groups of similar cells along with the extracellular material that surrounds those cells. Based on this definition the 10-100 trillion cells of the human body can be grouped into for major tissue types: epithelial tissues, connective tissues, muscle and nervous tissue. In this unit you will learn to identify each of these tissue types as well as the subclasses within each tissue.

Epithelial Tissue

General Characteristics of Epithelial tissues1. Composed almost entirely of close-packed cells with very little

extracellular material.2. Usually form a barrier therefore, the cells are arranged in a dense and

closely packed fashion.3. Have a free surface (apical surface) which is exposed to the body

exterior (skin) or the cavity of an internal organ (body cavities, blood vessels, heart, digestive and respiratory system passageways, covering of internal organs, etc.)

4 Have a basement membrane (composed of glycoprotein material plus collagen fibers) -- anchors basal surface of epithelium to the underlying connective tissue

5. Do not have blood vessels (avascular): the blood supply is in the underlying loose connective tissue.

6. Cells are held together by specialized contacts including tight junctions and desmosomes.

General Functions of Epithelial tissues1. Protect underlying structures.

2

2. Act as a barrier to prevent movement of substances through the epithelial layer.

3. Permit movement of some substances through the epithelial layer such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

4. Secretion of substances such mucous, sweat, and digestive enzymes.5. Adsorption of substances such as nutrients in the digestive system

Learning objectives1. Be able to identify the various types of epithelial tissues, cell types, and

structures summarized in the list of terms below.2. Be able to specify where each of the different types of epithelial tissues

Epithelial Types

Simple Epithelium - single layer

A. Simple Squamous epithelium: This tissue is composed of a single layer of flattened cells with nuclei that resemble flattened ovals. The cells are very thin and the nuclei are often thicker than the rest of the cell and bulge into the free space giving the tissue the appearance of a fried egg. This tissue forms the walls of capillaries in the cardiovascular system and alveoli in the lungs. It lines all blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and the chambers of the heart, and forms Bowman’s capsule in the kidneys. Additionally, the serous membranes you learned about in lecture in chapter 1 are composed of simple squamous epithelium.

B. Simple Cuboidal epithelium : This tissue is composed of a single layer of cells that are have roughly the same height as width. The most distinguishing characteristic of simple cuboidal epithelium is their large round nuclei that are typically located near the center of the cell. This tissue often forms ducts or tubes. When viewed in cross-section, the

3

Page 4: lab

round nuclei are lined up in a single row around the circumference of the tube while in longitudinal section the nuclei resemble a string of beads. Simple cuboidal epithelium is found forming the tubules of the kidneys, forming exocrine glands and their ducts, forming the choroid plexus of the brain and on the surfaces of the ovaries.

C. Simple Columnar epithelium: Simple columnar epithelium is composed of a single layer of cells that are taller than they are wide. As a result, the nuclei reflect this shape by becoming elongated ovals that run perpendicular to the surface of the tissue. Typically the nuclei are located closer to the basal surface than the apical surface, typically in the lower ½ of the cell . Another common feature of simple columnar epithelium is the presence of specialized, mucous-secreting cells known as goblet cells. These are easily identified as the they frequently break the otherwise continuous arrangement of columnar nuclei and are much lighter in color. Under higher magnification, you will be able to see the presence of a microvilli (brush border) on the apical surface of the columnar cells. Microvilli are finger-like projections of the plasma membrane that greatly increase the surface area of the apical surface. In addition, some simple columnar epithelium possess another cell surface modification on their apical surface known as cilia. Cilia are thread like projection capable of wave-like motion and assist in propelling substances over the surface of the cells. Simple columnar epithelium is found throughout the digestive system, lining the chambers of the stomach, small intestines and large intestines. In addition if is found lining the chambers of the uterus, uterine tubes, gall bladder and bile ducts.

D. Pseudostratified Columnar epithelium: Although it looks like it is multi-layered, pseudostratified columnar epithelium, is actually a single layer of cells. Each cell is connected to the basement membrane, however, not all cells project all the way to the free surface. The “shorter”, basal cells are wedge shaped with their nuclei are near the basement membrane while the nuclei of the “taller”, apical cells are located higher in the tissue. The overall all effect is of several layers of nuclei giving it a stratified appearance. Like simple columnar epithelium, pseudostratified columnar epithelium typically contains goblet cells and cilia. This tissue is found lining the nasal cavity, the nasal sinuses, the auditory tubes, the trachea and the bronchi of the lungs.

Stratified Epithelium - multiple layers

4

Page 5: lab

A. Keratinized Stratified Squamous epithelium : The name implies, that this tissue is composed of squamous-type cells that are piled into a multi-layered tissue. However, stratified epithelia are named based on the shape of the cells on the apical surface. As you examine this tissue you will see that at the basal surface the cells are actually columnar shaped and then transition as they move toward the surface to cuboidal and finally to squamous shaped cells. Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is characterized by the presence of a keratinized layer at the apical surface composed of dead, squamous shaped cells that are filled with the tough protein keratin. Another distinct characteristic of stratified squamous is its wavy basement membrane. The is formed by projections of the underlying dermis called papillae that protrude into the epithelium of the epidermis. Keratinized stratified squamous is found on the skin

B. Non-keratinized Stratified Squamous epithelium: This tissue looks very much like the keratinized stratified squamous with the exception that it lacks the keratinized layer. One key feature of all stratified squamous epithelium is that the lowest layer of cells stains dark purple. Cells that are more superior become gradually lighter toward the apical surface. This tissue is found lining the mouth, the throat, the esophagus, the vagina, the anus and the cornea

C. Transitional epithelium: Although this is a stratified epithelium we do not include the term stratified in the name. Transitional epithelium is found in the urinary bladder and some of the other structures of the urinary system. It can have two different appearances depending on the state of the organ so it is named transitional epithelium. For example, when the urinary bladder is in its empty or relaxed state, the epithelium will appear like stratified cuboidal epithelium. When it is filled or stretched, it will appear more like stratified squamous. All of the images you will see are of the tissue in the relaxed state. In addition to stratification also look for the characteristic Brick cells on the free surface that will cover 2-3 of the cells below them and often bulge into the lumen organ. Transitional epithelium is found lining the urinary bladder, the ureters and the superior urethra.

Connective Tissue

General Characteristics of connective tissues1. Very few cells compared to other tissues.

2. Large amounts of extracellular (intercellular) substance called matrix (matrix = ground substance plus fibers).

3. Contains various fibers.4. Vascular, meaning blood vessels are present (exceptions are

cartilage and dense connective tissue).

General functions of connective tissues1. Connect and bind other tissues together.2. Support and give structure to the body.3. Protect and cushion organs.4. Defense against disease (inflammation and immunity).5. Storage of energy and minerals.6. Repair of damaged tissue.7. Transport of nutrients, gases and wastes.

Learning objectives1. Be able to identify the various types of connective tissues, cell types, and

structures summarized in the list of terms below.2. Be able to specify where each of the different types of connective tissues

would be found in the body.

Connective Tissue Types

Loose Connective Tissues

A. Loose Fibrous Connective Tissue (Areolar Connective Tissue): This tissue is often lacy in appearance and is found in numerous fluid-filled spaces. It constitutes the loose packing material in many organs. Loose fibrous connective tissue connects the skin to underlying structures and is composed of collagen fibers, elastic fibers and a variety of cells including fibroblasts and mast cells . In can be found directly under all epithelial tissue where its appearance can be quite variable.

B. Adipose Tissue: Adipose tissue is widely distributed throughout the body and has very typical characteristics. Unlike the other connect tissues, adipose tissue has very little extracellular matrix. This tissue is characterized by large round open spaces separated by very thin plasma membranes. Adipose cells (adipocytes) contain a large lipid droplet inside that is dissolved away during preparation of the slides making them appear clear and open. The lipid droplet pushes the nucleus and other organelles of the cell up against the plasma membrane. The nucleus is small and flattened and is usually visible in most of the cells. These nuclei resemble the nuclei of simple squamous epithelium. This tissue is one of the easier tissues to identify in that it looks much like a hair net. Most of our adipose tissue is found in the subcutaneous areas. It can also be found in the mesenteries, the renal pelvis, in the mammary glands, around the kidneys and attached to the surface of the colon.

Dense Connective Tissues

A. Dense Regularly Arranged Fibrous Connective Tissue: This tissue is composed primarily of very large collagen fibers that are tightly packed in parallel bundles. Scattered among the parallel collagen fibers are the elongate, sliver-like nuclei of the fibroblasts that run parallel to the direction of the fibers. This tissue has a very poor blood supply, consequently when it is damaged it takes a long time to heal. Dense regularly arranged fibrous connective tissue is found forming tendons and ligaments.

7

Page 8: lab

B. Dense Irregularly Arranged Fibrous Connective Tissue: Like regularly arranged connective tissue, irregularly arranged connective tissue is also composed of large collagen fibers. In this tissue, however, the fibers are not all parallel but run in several different directions. In addition, nuclei of the fibroblasts are more oval shaped. This tissue is located in the dermis of the skin, the outer coverings of body tubes, and the fibrous capsules of organs and joints.

Cartilage

Although there are three distinct types of cartilage, all posses similar characteristics. Among these characteristics are the presence of small open spaces (lacunae) within the matrix of the cartilage and cartilage cells (chondrocytes) occupying these openings. Like Denser regularly arranged fibrous connective tissue, cartilage has a poor blood supply and thus heals slowly when damaged. We will learn to identify two of the three types, hyaline and elastic cartilage, we will not, however, be learning fibrocartilage.

A. Hyaline Cartilage: The matrix contains roughly equal amounts of collagen fibers and ground substance. Since the collagen fibers are evenly distributed throughout the matrix it generally appears as a homogenous pink or blue material. Lacunae, small open spaces, are present throughout the cartilage matrix. Chondrocytes can be found within the lacunae. Notice along the edge of this tissue the perichondrium. This tissue will contain immature chondrocytes known as chondroblasts and is composed mainly of dense regularly arranged connective tissue. Once the chondroblasts become surrounded by matrix they are called chondrocytes. Hyaline cartilage is found in the growth plates of growing long bones, the rings of the trachea and bronchi, the nose, articulating surfaces of joints and the embryonic skeleton.

B. Elastic Cartilage: This tissue looks much like to the hyaline cartilage. The major identifying feature is that the matrix contains large amounts of elastic fibers which appear dark purple in the micrographs. Elastic cartilage is found in the ears and the epiglottis.

Solid Connective Tissue

Bone is classified as a connective tissue. Like all connective tissue, it has more matrix than cellular component. In this case, the matrix is a calcified solid material surrounding collagen fibers. Under the microscope, you will see many structures and openings within the solid matrix of the bone that are essential to allow the bone tissue to live.

8

Page 9: lab

A. Compact Bone: Compact bone is composed of small units called osteons or Haversian systems. Under the microscope these systems have the appearance of targets with a large bull’s eye in the center. The bull’s eye is formed by the central or Haversian canal. In living bone blood vessels pass through these canals. Surrounding the central canal are a series of concentric rings of matrix called concentric lamellae (lamella, sing.) At the borders between the lamellae are lacuanae (lacuna, sing.) and within the lacunae are the cells that maintain the matrix, the osteocytes. If you look closely under high magnification you can observe small crack-like structures radiating out from the lacunae and interconnecting the lacunae of the different lamellae. These small tubes called canaliculi allow nutrients and wastes to pass between the osteocytes and the blood. If the bone is cut just right you can see structures that connect one Haversian canal to another, these are the Volksmann canals. Compact bone is found in all bones of the body.

Muscle Tissue

General Characteristics of muscle1. Elongated cells in direction of contraction2. Appearance depends on direction of cut (longitudinal or cross section)

General functions of muscle1. Contracts in response to a stimulus to generate movement

a. Movement of one part with respect to anotherb. Movement of materials through the bodyc Movement of the body through space (locomotion)

Types of Muscles

A. Skeletal Muscle: Skeletal muscle makes up the majority of the tissue that we think of when we think of muscles. It is under voluntary control and is located throughout the body. Skeletal muscle is generally attached to bones by tendons and uses these bones as levers to accomplish work. However, not all skeletal muscle is anchored to bones. Some, like that in the face, is attached to fibrous connective tissue. Skeletal muscle occurs in bundles. Each skeletal muscle cell or fiber is elongated and has multiple nuclei that are located on the periphery the cell. The cells are very large and can be several centimeters long, often running the entire length of the muscle. (Note, when referring to muscles we use the terms cell and fiber interchangeably. This is not to be confused with the fibers found in the matrix of connective tissue). Skeletal muscle is also striated with alternating light and dark bands running the entire length of the cell. These striations are caused by the regular overlapping arrangement of the muscle proteins, actin and myosin. The dark band is called the “A Band” and the light band is the “I Band”. If you look carefully, you will be able to identify a very thin, dark line running down the middle of the “I Band” this represents the backbone of the actin molecule and is called the “Z-disk”.When we look at skeletal muscle in cross section we see that individual skeletal muscle fibers are surrounded by a thin layer of loose fibrous (areolar) connective tissue, the endomysium. Furthermore, we see that

10

Page 11: lab

the muscle fibers not uniformly distributed throughout the muscle but are grouped into bundles called fasciculi with each fasciculus likewise surrounded by “heavier” connective tissue, the perimysium. Finally, the entire muscle is surrounded by a sheath of dense fibrous connective tissue, the epimysium. The large collagen fibers in the epimysium are continuous with those of the tendon that attaches the muscle to bone. Your biceps then is composed of many fasciculi bundled together with each fasciculus being composed of many muscle fibers.

B. Smooth Muscle: Smooth muscle is an involuntary, non-striated muscle that is found in the walls of hollow organs like, arteries and veins, the stomach, the small and large intestines, the uterus, the uterine tubes, the urinary bladder and the gall bladder to name few. Smooth muscle cells are fusiform in shape (football shaped). Each muscle cell contains one centrally located, cigar-shaped, nucleus. The cells are arranged side by side in sheets-like layers. The muscles cells are much smaller than skeletal muscle fibers and are woven together to form the sheet-like layers. Most of the digestive tract with the exception of the stomach has smooth muscle arranged in two layers; an inner circular and an outer longitudinal layer. The stomach has three layers of smooth muscle in its walls.

C. Cardiac Muscle: Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Like smooth muscle, cardiac muscle is involuntary, however, unlike smooth-muscle, cardiac muscle is striated. The muscle fibers resemble skeletal muscle with the following exceptions: the cells are branched, they have a single, oval, centrally located nucleus and the striations are not as pronounced. Additionally, the muscle fibers are shorter and thus are connected end-to-end. At the points of connection there are specializations called intercalated discs that both hold the cells together with desmosomes and allow communication between the cells via gap junctions. Under the microscope the intercalated discs look like very pronounced striations.

Nervous Tissue

Characteristics and functions of nervous tissue1. Composed of neurons and neuroglial cells.2. Main function is to transmit and process information.3. Divided into two major components.

Overview of the nervous system

The nervous system is uniquely designed for gathering, transmitting, processing and storing information. It controls voluntary as well as most involuntary functions. The nervous system is divided into two major components. The Central Nervous System (CNS) includes the brain and spinal cord and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) contains those structures outside of the brain and spinal cord, namely nerves and ganglia. Two classes of cells are found in the nervous system; neurons which

12

Page 13: lab

transmit the nerve impulses and neuroglial cells which carry out support functions in the nervous system. Most neurons have three parts: the soma, the axon and the dendrites. The soma or neuron cell body houses the nucleus of the cell and most of the other organelles. In the CNS soma are usually found in gray matter whereas in the PNS they are located in discrete clusters called ganglia. In addition to the soma neurons possess two types of processes: axons and dendrites. Dendrites are short, branched processes designed to transmit information toward the soma (incoming signals). Typical neurons have many dendrites which are found in the same locations as the soma. Axons are processes that carry information away from the soma (outgoing signals). A neuron typically has a single axon that in some cases can be as long as a meter. Axons in the CNS are located in the white matter and in the PNS are the principle component of nerves. Specialized neuroglial cells in the CNS (oligodendrocytes) and PNS (Schwann cells) wrap themselves around the axon producing a coating called the myeline sheath that can run the entire length of the axon. Each Schwann cell can produce a segment of myeline sheath that will cover about 1 mm of the axon. Between each segment of the myeline sheath is a small un-myelinated gap called a node of Ranvier.

A. Neuron: In the spinal cord smear we can see neuron cell bodies. In these slides gray matter from the spinal cord is literally smeared across the microscope slide disrupting the normal histology of the gray matter. This process, however, allows us to see the large, multi-shaped neuron cell bodies or soma . Axons and dendrites can be observed attached to the cell body but there is really no reliable way to determine which is an axon and which is a dendrite. In the background you will see many small dark nuclei. These are the nuclei of the various neuroglial cells.

B. Spinal cord: Under low magnification the spinal cord looks like a large circle with an “H” or butterfly shaped structure in its center. The H is the gray matter and hence contains neuron cell bodies. The lighter colored tissue around the gray matter is the white matter, containing axons that run up and down the spinal cord. Two grooves divide the spinal cord into right and left sides. These are the anterior median fissure and the posterior median sulcus. In the very center of the spinal cord is a small, fluid filled open space called the central canal. The gray matter around the central canal is the gray commissure which connects the right and left sides. The rest of the gray matter is subdivided into three horns; the right and left ventral, dorsal and lateral horns. The white matter is subdivided into columns, the right and left ventral, dorsal and lateral columns. If you have a good preparation you will be able to see a dorsal root ganglion which is

13

Page 14: lab

actually a cluster of soma in the PNS. It can be seen just lateral to the spinal cord.

Higher magnification of the ventral horn of the gray matter will reveal the large neuron cell bodies of the motor neurons that originate in this tissue. White matter under high magnification reveals tissue composed of small, clear circles with dark dots in the center (kind of like a doughnut). The dark dots are axons and the clear area around the axon is the myeline sheath.

C. Nerve: In longitudinal section a nerve has a unique appearance. At first it may look very nondescript but on closer observation you will be able to see a Node of Ranvier. It will look something like a “+” sign. The horizontal line is an axon and the vertical line is a Node of Ranvier. Once you have located a Node you should be able to make out the myelin sheath on either side of the Node. A nerve is composed entirely of axons surrounded by layers of connective tissue.

In cross section nerves look somewhat like white matter of the spinal cord, that is dark dots with light circles around them. Again the dots are axons and the lighter circles are the myeline sheath. If we observe this tissue under low magnification we see that nerves are arranged somewhat like skeletal muscle, that is groups of axons are bundled into fasciuli and each nerve is composed of many fasciculi. Also like skeletal muscle these structures are surrounded by connective tissue layers. Individual axons are surrounded by the endoneurium, fasciculi are surrounded by perineurium and the entire nerve is surrounded by epineurium.

Unit 2 - The Skeletal System

The skeletal system can be divided into two parts, the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axil skeleton includes the skull, the vertebrae, the sacrum, the sternum and the ribs. The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the appendages plus the bones of the girdles that attach the appendages, i.e. the scapula and clavicles for the upper limb and the coxal bones for the lower limbs.

In this unit we will spend three weeks learning the names of all of the bones as well as many features of the bones. We will use a team approach to learning the bones. To accomplish this the lab time will be organized as follows: The students at each lab table will be assigned by the instructor to one of for groups, 1-4. Since there are 6 tables in the lab there should be six number ones, six number twos, etc. At the beginning of the lab period all of the ones will meet in one corner of the room, all of the twos will meet in

15

Page 16: lab

another corner of the room, all of the threes in another and the fours in another. Each group will then learn the structures assigned to that group for the day. For example on the first week of this unit the “ones” will learn all of the structures listed under “ Week 1, Group 1" in the lab manual. Students should prepare prior to class by reviewing their assigned structures so that they can help each other within their group master the structures. After 30-40 minutes each student will return to their original tables and take turns teaching the other three members of their team the structures they have learned.

Before coming to the first lab section on this unit you should identify the following general terms that relate to the skeletal system:

Based on various features of the skull it is possible to determine the gender of the skull. In the table below are a list of features that differ between the sexes. Look at several skulls and see if you can determine their gender. For this exercise it is better to use the real skulls rather than the models. Note, it is common for some of the features to appear more “male” and others “female”-if this happens, sex is determined by the greatest number of features. For example, if the skull demonstrates 4 male-like traits and 7 female-like traits, then you would classify the skull as females

Unit 3 - MusclesSkeletal muscles are voluntary muscles which we consciously control. In this unit you will be learning the names of the major muscles of the body as well as the origins, insertions and actions of those muscles. In addition to learning the muscles on the models, you will also learn to identify many of the muscles on the cadavers. We will spend three weeks on this unit. As with the bones each days material will be divided into 4 groups which one member of each group (table) will learn and teach to the rest of the group. Once again it is essential that you come to class prepared, having reviewed the muscles for which you are responsible that day.

Unit 4 - The Nervous SystemThe nervous system can be divided into two parts: the central nervous system which includes the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system which is made up of nerves and ganglia. The nerves in the peripheral nervous system are classified according to their origin. Cranial nerves arise directly from the brain and spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord. In this lab you will learn to identify various components of the nervous system on the models. We will follow the same pattern used on the bone and muscle units.
