  2. Phosphotungstic acid-haematoxylin stain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphotungstic_acid...

    Muscle is stained blue-black to dark brown, connective tissue is pale orange-pink to brownish red, fibrin and neuroglia stain deep blue, coarse elastic fibers show as purple, and bone and cartilage obtain yellowish to brownish red color. PTAH is ideal for demonstrating striated muscle fibers and mitochondria, often without a counterstain.

  3. Periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periarteriolar_lymphoid...

    Periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths (or periarterial lymphatic sheaths, or PALS) are a portion of the white pulp of the spleen.They are populated largely by T cells and surround central arteries within the spleen; the PALS T-cells are presented with blood borne antigens via myeloid dendritic cells.

  4. Striated muscle tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striated_muscle_tissue

    The main function of striated muscle tissue is to create force and contract. These contractions in cardiac muscle will pump blood throughout the body. In skeletal muscle the contractions enable breathing, movement, and posture maintenance. [1] Contractions in cardiac muscle tissue are due to a myogenic response of the heart's pacemaker cells ...

  7. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    Muscle tissue functions to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within internal organs. Muscle is formed of contractile filaments and is separated into three main types; smooth muscle, skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle has no striations when examined microscopically. It contracts slowly but maintains ...

  8. Myoepithelial cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoepithelial_cell

    These may be positive for alpha smooth muscle actin and can contract and expel the secretions of exocrine glands. They are found in the sweat glands, mammary glands, lacrimal glands, and salivary glands. Myoepithelial cells in these cases constitute the basal cell layer of an epithelium that harbors the epithelial progenitor.

  9. Muscular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_system

    Three distinct types of muscle (L to R): Smooth (non-striated) muscle in internal organs, cardiac or heart muscle, and skeletal muscle. There are three distinct types of muscle: skeletal muscle, cardiac or heart muscle, and smooth (non-striated) muscle. Muscles provide strength, balance, posture, movement, and heat for the body to keep warm. [3]
