<entry linktype="AI" linkname="EUR-001-003" title="Figure 1.3: Examples of cuts at different levels">The prime numbers illustrate sections resulting from transverse (4), oblique (1), and longitudinal (2, 3, 5, 6) cuts made through a plate of cells bearing hollow projections (above plate) and invaginations (below plate). Plane 3 differs from the others because it passes only through the cellular wall of a projection, and not the lumen; therefore, section 3' appears as a plate of cells rather than a hollow structure. You should also be aware that structures may often appear unrelated to a surface or another object, when in fact they are. Compare planes 5 and 6 with sections 5' and 6', where continuity of the invagination with the surface is evident only in 6 and 6′. While not apparent from a single section, such continuity would be evident if an uninterrupted series of sections through the entire invagination were made and examined.</entry>

In this developing long bone, the epiphyses are still formed of hyaline cartilage, although the early appearance of secondary centers of ossification is indicated by the presence of blood vessels within the cartilage. Chondrocytes close to the epiphyses have become organized, so that the zones of endochondral ossification are present. Areas similar to those outlined by the rectangles in this image are shown in detail in Figures 5.9 and 5.10.

This magnified view of an area similar to that indicated (2) in Figure 5.8 shows some of the zones of endochondral ossification. The zone of reserve cartilage consists of small chondrocytes. Small, somewhat flattened chondrocytes arranged in stacks mark the zone of multiplication (zone of cell division or proliferation), in which chondrocytes multiply, enabling continued growth of the cartilage. In the zone of hypertrophy, chondrocytes gradually enlarge and the matrix between them becomes reduced.

This is a magnified view of an area (3) similar to that outlined in Figure 5.8. In the zone of hypertrophy, chondrocytes enlarge. They eventually die, leaving spaces that merge and become occupied by bone marrow. In the zone of calcification, strands of cartilage matrix persist between hypertrophied chondrocytes and become calcified. Osteoblasts from the marrow cavity deposit bone matrix (pink) on the remnants of calcified cartilage matrix (lavender to purple) in the zone of ossification. Megakaryocytes, which produce platelets in the bone marrow, are large cells possessing a large, lobed nucleus. Osteoclasts are also present.

This is a magnified view of the layers of the muscularis externa showing smooth muscle tissue in x.s. and l.s. Smooth muscle cells each have a single, elongated nucleus sometimes referred to as cigar-shaped. This shape is apparent in cells that have been sectioned longitudinally. In a group of smooth muscle cells, the cells are oriented in the same direction and fitted closely together with tapered ends of some cells positioned between mid-portions of other cells. Thus, their nuclei appear staggered in smooth muscle tissue sectioned longitudinally and, because of the snug arrangement of the cells, their boundaries are often not discernable. The appearance of smooth muscle cells in cross section varies, depending on where they were transected along their length. If a cell was sliced through its mid region, its basophilic nucleus is visible and appears round. If the cell was cut closer to a tapered end, only eosinophilic cytoplasm, not the nucleus, is present and the cell appears smaller in diameter.
