New cards

Simple Squamous Epithelium

Epithelium found in the omentum, featuring loose connective tissue and fibroblasts with large nuclei and tapered cytoplasm.

3
New cards

Stereocilia

Specialized microvilli found in the epididymis, much larger than typical villi and may show distal branching.

4
New cards

Brush Border

Epithelium found in the small intestine, characterized by columnar cells, microvilli, and crypts.

New cards

Round Nuclei

Clusters of cell bodies with large lemon-shaped areas and multiple round nuclei found in the spinal ganglion.
