[جوري]

lol come on now--I'll give another clue.. heading to and fro that convoluted mass is an efferent and and afferent arteriole... can't get easier than this =)

 

[saira-k]

heart??

 

[smile]

liver?

 

[جوري]

come on you guys have to do some research, I gave you really good clues.. practically a give away.. this is what the heart looks like under the microscope

it is made of smooth muscle fibers

this is different cross sections stained with Hemotoxin & Eosin -- things are usually stained with different dyes for lots of reasons which are unimportant now--- since I want to take this from a basic anatomy point of view ( admittedly more difficult) since it is microscopic... but I think all of you guys have used a microscope no?

glomerulus in the bowman's capsule of a nephron of the kidney?

 

[جوري]

You are da bomb... reps for you =)

 

[vpb]

come onn , not biology

 

[muzna]

thanks..i couldnt really tell from the slide..but the clue of afferent and efferent arterioles gave it away..plus the second pic of the capillary network..
what's wrong with it though? looks like inconsistent congregations in the capillaries?

 

[جوري]

it ain't bio.. it is pathology =) --well no one took a stab at the disease and I am not expecting anyone too.... =)

well the one you looked at is healthy, the very first slide is of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis... I really wasn't expecting anyone to come up with that unless an actual pathologist, most people even medical students whose knowledge of path is still fresh, can't recognize a slide without a case history.... but whoaa if someone had gotten that?... sobhan Allah, it would have been very humbling ...
