I never comment on videos, but you deserve the recognition. You are an amazing tutor, professor and teacher to all. I made a series of videos into a playlist tied down to this video and it was because of you, that I was able to get every question correct. Genuinely, thank you !!
I wish I found your channel sooner Professor! In my AP class I struggled badly with histology that I ended up breaking my 4.0 GPA streak due to that difficult class. I studied to point of no belief. Staying up late, which now I know is not conducive to anyone's health. You're explaining all the tissues as well as cartilage beautifully. My professor is a Doctor. Very strict, practical exams everyday, written exams everyday on top of homework. I literally fell into depression because she gave me 79%! Yes, it's a passing grade, as I mentioned all went downhill with my GPA from there. Not only that, she slammed door on a student literally just walking into classroom, because it was one minute past 8 am. Unbelievable.
Histology is so hard without a good explanation! I was very lucky to have the world's best professor and the way I explain histology is very similar to the way I remember him explaining it to me! He was such a lovely man. As he handed out our tests he would say things like: "It's fine. It's ok if you don't do well on this test. Your parents still love you. The worlds not over. You're going to be ok." 😂😂 I'm sorry you didn't have someone like that to teach you anatomy, but seriously, your grades do not define your intelligence or worth. I've seen students get very high grades when they know almost nothing (but are good test takers) and I've seen students get terrible grades when they are extremely knowledgeable! (But for whatever reason, it just wasn't their test) I'm glad to have made things a little easier! Best of luck in your studies!
@@AnatomyHero I love your teacher's analogy! How uplifting! But so right! And yes!! You're 100% correct. I am a horrible test taker, but give me a practicum /practical and I'll get 90-100!

I have never left a comment before but I just binge watched your whole playlist on basic histology and wow you have genuinely helped me so much. I now feel prepared for my first practical tomorrow.
I'm so glad your channel exists, I'm sure it's helped tens of thousands of students pass. I had to drop A&P 1 last semester because the professors were horrible (lecture wasn't that atrocious, but combined with the lab one, it was overall bad). Lab professor and lecture professor would say different things about the same thing, and neither had communication with one another so it made it difficult. You were basically studying for 2 different classes despite it being just one big class. I was also taking elementary statistics and two other electives, while also holding down a job, it was just too much. The lab professor threw you to the wolves, read off of a PowerPoint, and while he did write notes for us to copy.. they were out of context when you went home to restudy them. He also didn't teach us how to use a microscope, saying we should've learned it in high school, when there are students 30+ y/o that I'm sure haven't touched a microscope in years. You also weren't guided on which slides you needed to use, you guessed, and if it didn't have a label, well then you were just out of luck on what you were looking at. I'm already halfway through the summer semester and feeling much more confident about A&P, and supplemental videos like yours really help.
I'm sorry you had that experience!! It is terrible that your professor just expected you to know how to use a microscope... I always tell students not to be ashamed and to ask for help... I hate that there are educators out there who are like that, that shame students for not knowing something that they have no reason to know. In my experience, professors like that have become that way because they are bad teachers, and rather than trying to figure out how to become better they shift the blame to the students. I'm glad that your experience is going better now and I'm glad that I could help! Also, I hope by now that you're more comfortable with the microscope, but if not I do have a video specifically about that. I also might have other topics that are relevant to you if you check my playlists.
@@AnatomyHero Thank you!! Wish there were more educators/instructors like you. My current lab teacher had no problem walking us through one by one on how to use a microscope this semester, and I got the hang of it in just a few tries. That other guy acted like spending 5 minutes of his time doing a tutorial with his students on how to use a microscope, was going to kill him! I feel 100% better about this course now, the instructors make a huge difference, honestly. I took my first practical today and only missed 5 out of a total of 50 questions, and got 2 bonus questions correct. I don't think I would've been able to easily distinguish smooth muscle tissue and dense regular connective tissue without your vids! Thanks for dedicating your time to help struggling students out there, that may have had a bad experience like me in the past. I know it probably takes a lot of work, but I know that thousands nationwide (if not in a few other countries as well) are thanking you.
These videos are so helpful! I am one week into A&P and while I have the names and most locations and functions memorized for my first lab test next week I have been having trouble identifying what tissue I am looking at while in lab. Your videos have helped me feel prepared than any of the text or video lectures from my class!
These videos helped soo much !! You have no idea. I’ve been struggling with differentiating smooth muscle and dense regular tissue for the longest. You also reminded me that the cardiac muscle has the little discs in between so I won’t identify it as Skeletal muscle. thank you soo much again !
Thank you so much! I'm taking A and P 1 and retain info so much better when hearing it explained versus just reading textbooks, this has been a lifesaver, and your descriptions of each and why they are this tissue or that tissue, and how to classify and identify, AMAZING! I'm hopefully gona kick this Histology exam's butt! ❤😂
That was super helpful, thank you! I'm a medical student in New Zealand with a background in medical research science and an interest in forensic pathology. It's been a while since I've had histology labs! It would be super helpful if you could specify which stain is used if not H&E, but I totally understand if that's too much work. Incredibly useful regardless!
Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't considered talking the stains before because I started making my videos for the students at my school who are mainly pre-nursing, but perhaps in future videos I will mention it. Also I love your username. I am a huge Xena fan.
So you mentioned a link with a description on more about how to differentiate smooth muscle and dense regular tissue but I'm not seeing it? That is one I could definitely use, maybe I'm missing something, but if not, just a heads up!

@@AnatomyHero I am a Korean student. It is difficult to study in Korea because there are no good materials, but your videos are very helpful. Thank you so much for answering such kind questions.🥰
You may not get to this but I’m really struggling with cardiac muscle. For the last example I really don’t see intercalated disks or striations at all. It looks more like fibrocartilage to me
Oh my god, i wish i had this video when i took my anatomy class three years ago. This would have been a godsend! I might have to retake anatomy since it was so long ago and i'm waiting to be in the nursing program. Im not sure but ill figure it out. But ill refer to your vids for help! Im so much wiser now and able to find content online easier than i did before. Thank you so much! I love you for doing this for us. May i ask, would you ever be able to do videos on bone tissue and describe everything about the bones? The way the bone forms... The way the cells form... I forgot all about it now. Well, I remember having particularly a hard time about that when I was doing my class. If there's any way you could post about that I'd be interested! Thank you!
Happy to help! You can always check out my playlist to see what I have topic by topic (or just ask, I don't mind) but currently all my bone videos are gross anatomy (and one histology). I don't know that I will get to bone formation anytime soon (I will be honest, of all the physiology.... I find it the least interesting) but if you get to that point in your studies and you find you're still confused... You can always leave a question in a comment somewhere and there's a good chance I'll answer you. Nursing is a wonderful profession. I almost hope you do have to take anatomy and physiology again, because some of the physiology topics are so relevant for nursing and having a good foundation in them will be helpful in nursing school. I have a friend in nursing school right now and she runs circles around her classmates because she took her anatomy and physiology very seriously, so where her classmates are having to memorize things (like side effects and contraindications for medicines) she understands the physiology and therefore doesn't have to memorize. She understands. If you do have to take it...I highly recommend Marieb's human anatomy and physiology, the older edition can be found for $20 or less (the isbn is 978-0321743268). It is the most student friendly textbook, and most students seem to benefit from it even when it's not their assigned book... Whatever textbook you use, start reading as soon as your class starts, long before you are confused, so that you can figure out a strategy for reading your textbook where you actually are getting information from it! Good luck on your journey!
Great effort making this video. The way you explain details it Made me curious to learn even more. I am still struggling between smooth - cardiac muscles and Dense CT but i got the correct answers for rest of them.
A lot of people struggle with dense regular versus smooth muscle, so I have a whole video about that... th-cam.com/video/5kmZ2Yo-gEg/w-d-xo.html For cardiac you need to remember to look for the intercalated discs.. Here are two pictures that indicate intercalated discs (one with arrows, the other with circles). Look around the slides and you will see a ton more. photos.app.goo.gl/pZgCW8A42LGz4RoL9 photos.app.goo.gl/Yw7nJt1yrh9FLcQi6 Intercalated discs are dark lines that are junctions between cardiac cells...so you will always see them cutting "across" the cell, and will be going in the same directions as the striations (although the striations aren't always easily visible) If you don't know what striations are...they are the stripes created by the organized collections of actin and myosin, and are easily seen in the picture that has the arrows. If you're still having difficulty, on this playlist you will find videos that talk about the individual families. The videos that start with the word "identifying" have practice at the end. th-cam.com/play/PLBM7jL93Kc2RFon6AxyVIeoAMtp0Ci13u.html Hope that helps, good luck in your studies!
@@AnatomyHero thank you so much for taking time into explaining all this, will surely study all these resources. You are a selfless angel. May God bless you
Why is it that in some of your slide the nuclei of the cardiac muscle seems to be outside the fibers? I'm having trouble differentiating between muscle and cartilage
I think I know the cardiac slide you're referring to, and I think that particular slide the fibers were cut directly across (So if you think of the muscle fibers like a rope, We cut directly through the rope instead of cutting it lengthwise) And I think that's what makes it look a little different than the other cardiac muscle slides. If you send time stamps I can better explain the differences/ what you were looking at. My other suggestion is to get three pictures of cardiac (or whatever muscle you're confusing with cartilage) and at least three pictures of cartilage and look at them all side by side. The difference should be clear
Thank you so much ma'am for these videos they have been so helpful! I have difficulty in understanding the difference between the other connective tissues listed and cartilage. I am confused, can cartilage be loose or dense? What about bones and other connective tissues?
Connective Tissue can be broken up into 1) Connective tissue proper 2) Cartilage 3) Bone and 4) Blood. Connective tissue proper can be broken in Loose and Dense tissues...but cartilage is not. Sometimes people get confused because there is elastic connective tissue (which is sometimes referred to as dense elastic connective tissue) and there is also elastic cartilage, but they are two completely different tissues. Hope that helps! I also have this video where I really focus on explaining CT as a group and have a series of practice at the end: th-cam.com/video/5u5-l6sSNmo/w-d-xo.html
I am not sure if you will be able to answer this before my practical tomorrow but why was 39 elastic cartilage and also how can I be sure not to confuse simple squamous from adipose as from far away simple squamous can look like adipose tissue.
39 wasn't elastic cartilage, it's elastic connective tissue...which is something completely different...if you're an NCC student that tissue isn't in the lab manual and you don't need to worry about it ...if you aren't an NCC student I will link a video about just connective tissue below where I talk about both elastic connective tissue and elastic cartilage. I'll also link a video I made about simple squamous vs adipose
Connective tissue video: th-cam.com/video/5u5-l6sSNmo/w-d-xo.html It's very long, but I think there's timestamps in the description... You would need to look at connective tissue proper to learn more about elastic connective tissue, and the cartilage part to learn more about cartilage Hope that helps! Good luck on your practical!
This video shows multiple examples of transitional and compares it to keratinized stratified squamous.... th-cam.com/video/tM1d2mqCHd8/w-d-xo.html I don't directly compare it to non keratinized... But if you're having trouble with transitional versus non-keratinized stratified squamous, you just need to pay attention to the shape of the cells near the top of the stratified squamous. They will be flat. If you need a more indepth look at stratified squamous you can check out this tiktok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8x7HMdn/
Hi, thanks for the great video for reviewing. I have a question about practice No.32 . Why isn't it ciliated pseudostratified columnar?? Because it has cilia doesn't it?? And also there are multiple layers!!
So, what you are seeing is two SEPARATE layers...you have one layer pointing to the empty space on the left and one layer point to the empty space on the right....in the middle is the basement membrane separating the layers. Those aren't cilia you are seeing microvilli...and also the goblet cells generally never look this good in pseudostratified. It's similar to number nine but more zoomed in... If you still can't see it, try looking at my histology playlist and find my identifying epithelium video, I think I explain this (or a similar) example in the practice section!
I have one video that covers the layers of the skin, glands within those layers, and types of receptors within those layers... It's definitely not a comprehensive video (and it's one of the first I ever made, So it may be a bit rough) th-cam.com/video/4uKQXDKDIWg/w-d-xo.html Most of my content is organized by system in my playlists (If you want to see what else I have)
We always count layers from the empty space (on a slide, white is empty). On this slide you can see there are two empty spaces, so what you are seeing is two separate single layers that are both attached to the same basement membrane in the middle. If that doesn't make sense try my video "identifying layers and shapes"
I am currently studying for my Histology exam in Med school and this was amazing! I just have one question: in slide 28 (the trachea) I had initially identified the second layer as cuboidal epithelium, but then switched my answer to connective tissue because of the submucosa. What is the function of this cuboidal layer under the pseudostratified epithelium? Is it still part of the mucosa? Thank you so much in advance!
What you are seeing are submucosal glands which secrete antimicrobial proteins and mucus, so those simple cuboidal cells aren't part of the mucosal layer (although their product will be secreted onto the mucosal layer), they are in the submucosal layer and surrounded by the connective tissue of the submucosa. Happy to help! Good luck in your studies!
Eosinophil on the left, neutrophil on the right. Here's my video about differentiating leukocytes if you need it: th-cam.com/video/0ZIqDCjbQw8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Q8xgfaQQruV6aqic
I am having trouble differentiating between elastic tissue and fibrocartilage tissue. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to determine the difference? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
photos.app.goo.gl/WJQuGLTt6X2BN85Q6 first four are elastic connective tissue, second group of four are elastic cartilage, third group of four are fibrocartilage. If you can't differentiate tissues, your best bet is to get multiple examples of each side by side. elastic connective tissue clearly always has two types of fibers whereas fibrocartilage only has one type of fiber and elastic cartilage is densely packed with lacuna.
I meant to say elastic connective tissue and fibrocartilage! I miss-typed. My book / class breaks them down into: Connective > Proper > Dense > Elastic, and then Connective > Supporting > Cartilage > Fibrocartialge. @@AnatomyHero I appreciate your link and description. What can I do to help support your channel?
Good day ma. I have a question Thank you for such wonderful content. The last two silent slides... The one for smooth muscle seemed like cardiac to me because there were places where they branched and touched one another. Please explain why it's wrong. The last one, I answered fibrocartilage because there were some circles that resembled lacunae having chondrocytes. Could you clear my confusion? Thank you ma'am
If you look back at the smooth muscle one you'll see theres no striations or intercalated discs. The one place where you're seeing the cells "branch" is just a place where the tissue section got slightly pulled apart, bending some of the cells. This video addresses your question about getting the last one confused with fibrocartilage: th-cam.com/video/oh-qutBwq2Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0FUv9FALBDaCGNo9 Because both of your mistakes involved cardiac muscle, I think simply learning how to ID intercalated discs (as shown in that video) would fix your problem! I also have a video specifically with muscle questions if that would help: th-cam.com/video/FI3-28tdovk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RDMENRn3qKxOQv1n
Check out my basic histology playlist! I have videos for each family that talk about function and location (the ones that don't start with the word identifying)
The nuclei are inside the cells, whereas with dense connective you are seeing the nuclei of fibroblasts smooshed between non living collagen fibers. If you're not sure what I mean, you can watch this video where I compare the two tiasues: th-cam.com/video/5kmZ2Yo-gEg/w-d-xo.html
@@AnatomyHero the difference between simple columnar and pseudo stratified epithelium. Is it safe to say simple columnar is only found in a single layer and pseudo stratified epithelium is similar to columnar but appears to have layers?
@@myleshenry8658 correct, also pseudo stratified always has cilia (as far as I can tell even non-ciliated pseudostratified APPEARS ciliated because it has something called 'stereocilia'...I could be mistaken on that, but I spent hours one day trying to find an example of non-ciliated pseudostratified that didn't have stereocilia and all I could find was that it occurs in the fetal esophagus, and I couldn't even find pictures. The top search result on Google for non-cilitated pseudostratified is from study.com and it's actually just simple columnar that has been incorrectly labeled)
I only have one! It's of the esophagus...all my organ specific histology videos are on this playlist Histology (AP II): th-cam.com/play/PLBM7jL93Kc2Ro6cMPxNpRxHf3m0lh-1oa.html I hope you add more soon once I'm done with the blood vessels.
If you see intercalated discs/striations it's cardiac! The striations aren't always obvious but you should always see some intercalated discs (dark lines perpendicular to the muscle fiber)
I haven't watched this video but I pray and hope it helps me cause I have no ideal of how these tissues look or how to identify them under the Microscope and always confused in class.
If you are still having a lot of trouble, this isn't the best video to start with. I recommend going to my playlist and watching the videos that start with the word identifying (identifying epithelium, identifying connective tissue proper, identifying muscle, identifying cartilage) They all have examples and practice questions. If you can answer the questions in those videos, then you can try this video. Basic Histology (AP I): th-cam.com/play/PLBM7jL93Kc2RFon6AxyVIeoAMtp0Ci13u.html
You know, I kind of see your point...it does have some of the.amtkers of being dense regular (nuclei in a line) but then also some of the nuclei appear to be inside the fiber which would make you think smooth muscle... I'll see if I can figure out where I got this from to see if I can figure it out for sure.
I have a bunch of stuff about various organs! You can find it all on this playlist.. th-cam.com/play/PLBM7jL93Kc2Ro6cMPxNpRxHf3m0lh-1oa.html&si=iLqUDPrNiH6vPRWL
That one throws a lot of people off.. I don't have a good explanation for why so many of the nuclei appear like they are in holes outside of the muscle fiber... But the branching cells and intercalated discs are how you can tell that it is cardiac.
@@AnatomyHero wow, thanks a lot. There's one problem, I find it hard to notice intercalated discs, maybe I haven't understood them, but if someone told me to point one with 90% confidence, I wouldn't.
I should honestly make a video about that, because thats not the first time I've had someone say that...but for now: here are two pictures that indicate intercalated discs (one with arrows, the other with circles). Look around the slides and you will see a ton more. photos.app.goo.gl/pZgCW8A42LGz4RoL9 photos.app.goo.gl/Yw7nJt1yrh9FLcQi6 Intercalated discs are dark lines that are junctions between cardiac cells...so you will always see them cutting "across" the cell, and will be going in the same directions as the striations (although the striations aren't always easily visible) If you don't know what striations are...they are the stripes created by the organized collections of actin and myosin, and are easily seen in the picture that has the arrows.
@@AnatomyHero ❤ I'm really grateful. I have no words. But thanks for taking your time to type all of that for me to understand and sharing those links. Thank you so much🙏❤
I think you're taking about the slide at 22:52...if so....it's an ultra close up, those open spaces you're seeing are lacuna...and the fact that there are fibers in between the lacuna tells us it's elastic cartilage If you don't see it, sometimes it's helpful to put multiple examples of the same tissue type side by side! Also, I have a video just about differentiating elastic if you go to my basic histology playlist

I love the fact that you're a great anatomist and great teacher of it
These videos are so helpful! I am one week into A&P and while I have the names and most locations and functions memorized for my first lab test next week I have been having trouble identifying what tissue I am looking at while in lab. Your videos have helped me feel prepared than any of the text or video lectures from my class!
Great video. I really appreciate you taking the time to gather all the tissues together in one video
No problem! I'm glad people are finding it and using it!
These videos helped soo much !! You have no idea. I’ve been struggling with differentiating smooth muscle and dense regular tissue for the longest. You also reminded me that the cardiac muscle has the little discs in between so I won’t identify it as Skeletal muscle. thank you soo much again !
I don’t and will not watch anyone but your channel! Extremely beneficial! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm taking A and P 1 and retain info so much better when hearing it explained versus just reading textbooks, this has been a lifesaver, and your descriptions of each and why they are this tissue or that tissue, and how to classify and identify, AMAZING! I'm hopefully gona kick this Histology exam's butt! ❤😂
I cannot thank you enough for your videos! You truly are my anatomy hero.
You are a godsent! Thank you so much for explaining how to identity the tissues so clearly!
So glad to help! Histology is my favorite!
That was super helpful, thank you! I'm a medical student in New Zealand with a background in medical research science and an interest in forensic pathology. It's been a while since I've had histology labs! It would be super helpful if you could specify which stain is used if not H&E, but I totally understand if that's too much work. Incredibly useful regardless!
Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't considered talking the stains before because I started making my videos for the students at my school who are mainly pre-nursing, but perhaps in future videos I will mention it.
Also I love your username. I am a huge Xena fan.
First day when watching your videos: I don't know what this even is
Third day: easily 39 examples recognized
I'm struggling so hard with histology but your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
I got Cardiac muscle wrong. I feel like its tough to know if the intercalated discs are fibers or not.
Thank you so much, I failed my histology continuous assessments, I got an 8/20 but with this I'm 100% sure that I'm clearing the exam
Thankyou so much madam.love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳👍👍💯💯
So you mentioned a link with a description on more about how to differentiate smooth muscle and dense regular tissue but I'm not seeing it? That is one I could definitely use, maybe I'm missing something, but if not, just a heads up!

this was super helpful as practice for my upcoming histology quiz
honestly, i answered all the questions correctly... but this arggg!! the smooth muscle, dense regular is really getting into my nerveees!!! T.T
BTWW I'VE FINISHED ALL YOUR VIDEOS IN HISTOLOGY. AND IT REALLY DO HELPED ME! THANK YOUUUUU!!
Liar
These tissue videos from Anatomy Hero are a wonderful supplement to Histology studies.
20:00 What is the difference between this tissue and esophageal tissue?
The esophagus is lined with stratified squamous rather than transitional.
@@AnatomyHero I am a Korean student. It is difficult to study in Korea because there are no good materials, but your videos are very helpful. Thank you so much for answering such kind questions.🥰
You may not get to this but I’m really struggling with cardiac muscle. For the last example I really don’t see intercalated disks or striations at all. It looks more like fibrocartilage to me
I have had a TON of people ask this question, so I just made a short video to resolve it...hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/oh-qutBwq2Y/w-d-xo.html
Also, here's my video about muscle histology in general if you want to see more examples. th-cam.com/video/FI3-28tdovk/w-d-xo.html
@@AnatomyHero you are awesome thank you so much
I love your channel so much. Thank you so much for the helpful videos!
Oh my god, i wish i had this video when i took my anatomy class three years ago. This would have been a godsend! I might have to retake anatomy since it was so long ago and i'm waiting to be in the nursing program. Im not sure but ill figure it out. But ill refer to your vids for help! Im so much wiser now and able to find content online easier than i did before. Thank you so much! I love you for doing this for us.
May i ask, would you ever be able to do videos on bone tissue and describe everything about the bones? The way the bone forms... The way the cells form... I forgot all about it now. Well, I remember having particularly a hard time about that when I was doing my class. If there's any way you could post about that I'd be interested! Thank you!
Happy to help! You can always check out my playlist to see what I have topic by topic (or just ask, I don't mind) but currently all my bone videos are gross anatomy (and one histology). I don't know that I will get to bone formation anytime soon (I will be honest, of all the physiology.... I find it the least interesting) but if you get to that point in your studies and you find you're still confused... You can always leave a question in a comment somewhere and there's a good chance I'll answer you.
Nursing is a wonderful profession. I almost hope you do have to take anatomy and physiology again, because some of the physiology topics are so relevant for nursing and having a good foundation in them will be helpful in nursing school. I have a friend in nursing school right now and she runs circles around her classmates because she took her anatomy and physiology very seriously, so where her classmates are having to memorize things (like side effects and contraindications for medicines) she understands the physiology and therefore doesn't have to memorize. She understands.
If you do have to take it...I highly recommend Marieb's human anatomy and physiology, the older edition can be found for $20 or less (the isbn is 978-0321743268). It is the most student friendly textbook, and most students seem to benefit from it even when it's not their assigned book... Whatever textbook you use, start reading as soon as your class starts, long before you are confused, so that you can figure out a strategy for reading your textbook where you actually are getting information from it!
Good luck on your journey!
Thank you. You explain well and clearly. You are a good teacher!
Just wanted to let you know that this vid helped so much with my first A+P lecture exam and lab practical ❤️❤️❤️
thank you so much for the videos! they help so much with my a&p class!
Is cartilage the only avascular non-innervated connective tissue?
I learned a lot, thank you so much!
You're very welcome! Good luck in your studies!
Great effort making this video. The way you explain details it Made me curious to learn even more. I am still struggling between smooth - cardiac muscles and Dense CT but i got the correct answers for rest of them.
A lot of people struggle with dense regular versus smooth muscle, so I have a whole video about that...
th-cam.com/video/5kmZ2Yo-gEg/w-d-xo.html
For cardiac you need to remember to look for the intercalated discs..
Here are two pictures that indicate intercalated discs (one with arrows, the other with circles). Look around the slides and you will see a ton more.
photos.app.goo.gl/pZgCW8A42LGz4RoL9
photos.app.goo.gl/Yw7nJt1yrh9FLcQi6
Intercalated discs are dark lines that are junctions between cardiac cells...so you will always see them cutting "across" the cell, and will be going in the same directions as the striations (although the striations aren't always easily visible)
If you don't know what striations are...they are the stripes created by the organized collections of actin and myosin, and are easily seen in the picture that has the arrows.
If you're still having difficulty, on this playlist you will find videos that talk about the individual families. The videos that start with the word "identifying" have practice at the end.
th-cam.com/play/PLBM7jL93Kc2RFon6AxyVIeoAMtp0Ci13u.html
Hope that helps, good luck in your studies!
@@AnatomyHero thank you so much for taking time into explaining all this, will surely study all these resources. You are a selfless angel. May God bless you
Very helpful, did well on the quiz
In the last question cardiac muscle looks like it has those cartilage cells but I can see the disc that cardic muscles have
Why is it that in some of your slide the nuclei of the cardiac muscle seems to be outside the fibers? I'm having trouble differentiating between muscle and cartilage
I think I know the cardiac slide you're referring to, and I think that particular slide the fibers were cut directly across (So if you think of the muscle fibers like a rope, We cut directly through the rope instead of cutting it lengthwise) And I think that's what makes it look a little different than the other cardiac muscle slides.
If you send time stamps I can better explain the differences/ what you were looking at. My other suggestion is to get three pictures of cardiac (or whatever muscle you're confusing with cartilage) and at least three pictures of cartilage and look at them all side by side. The difference should be clear
I thank God I saw this before my exam today
Great tutor 👍 this was extremely helpful 😫
thank you queen, saving my life fr
this made so much sense, THANK YOU
Thank you so much ma'am for these videos they have been so helpful! I have difficulty in understanding the difference between the other connective tissues listed and cartilage. I am confused, can cartilage be loose or dense? What about bones and other connective tissues?
Connective Tissue can be broken up into 1) Connective tissue proper 2) Cartilage 3) Bone and 4) Blood. Connective tissue proper can be broken in Loose and Dense tissues...but cartilage is not.
Sometimes people get confused because there is elastic connective tissue (which is sometimes referred to as dense elastic connective tissue) and there is also elastic cartilage, but they are two completely different tissues.
Hope that helps! I also have this video where I really focus on explaining CT as a group and have a series of practice at the end: th-cam.com/video/5u5-l6sSNmo/w-d-xo.html
@AnatomyHero okay I sort of understand, let me watch the video and consolidate the information. Thank you so much
"congratulations on your excellent attention span" (me who just zoned out while staring at my Dunkin coffee: "your welcome")
Great video 👌 👏
I am not sure if you will be able to answer this before my practical tomorrow but why was 39 elastic cartilage and also how can I be sure not to confuse simple squamous from adipose as from far away simple squamous can look like adipose tissue.
39 wasn't elastic cartilage, it's elastic connective tissue...which is something completely different...if you're an NCC student that tissue isn't in the lab manual and you don't need to worry about it ...if you aren't an NCC student I will link a video about just connective tissue below where I talk about both elastic connective tissue and elastic cartilage.
I'll also link a video I made about simple squamous vs adipose
Simple squamous vs adipose: th-cam.com/video/PKRW2WEIUWQ/w-d-xo.html
Connective tissue video: th-cam.com/video/5u5-l6sSNmo/w-d-xo.html
It's very long, but I think there's timestamps in the description... You would need to look at connective tissue proper to learn more about elastic connective tissue, and the cartilage part to learn more about cartilage
Hope that helps! Good luck on your practical!
This is amazing thank you. Wish me luck tomorrow on my exam
Hope your test went well!

How to differentiate between transitional and stratified squamous
This video shows multiple examples of transitional and compares it to keratinized stratified squamous.... th-cam.com/video/tM1d2mqCHd8/w-d-xo.html
I don't directly compare it to non keratinized... But if you're having trouble with transitional versus non-keratinized stratified squamous, you just need to pay attention to the shape of the cells near the top of the stratified squamous. They will be flat. If you need a more indepth look at stratified squamous you can check out this tiktok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8x7HMdn/

You're not a hero
You're my angel
Hi, thanks for the great video for reviewing. I have a question about practice No.32 . Why isn't it ciliated pseudostratified columnar?? Because it has cilia doesn't it?? And also there are multiple layers!!
So, what you are seeing is two SEPARATE layers...you have one layer pointing to the empty space on the left and one layer point to the empty space on the right....in the middle is the basement membrane separating the layers. Those aren't cilia you are seeing microvilli...and also the goblet cells generally never look this good in pseudostratified.
It's similar to number nine but more zoomed in...
If you still can't see it, try looking at my histology playlist and find my identifying epithelium video, I think I explain this (or a similar) example in the practice section!
this vedio was very helpful . thank uuuuuu :)
Thank u so much, completely helpful
Do you have any videos on the integumentary system?
I have one video that covers the layers of the skin, glands within those layers, and types of receptors within those layers... It's definitely not a comprehensive video (and it's one of the first I ever made, So it may be a bit rough)
th-cam.com/video/4uKQXDKDIWg/w-d-xo.html
Most of my content is organized by system in my playlists (If you want to see what else I have)
22:35 i dont understand how its not stratified?
We always count layers from the empty space (on a slide, white is empty). On this slide you can see there are two empty spaces, so what you are seeing is two separate single layers that are both attached to the same basement membrane in the middle.
If that doesn't make sense try my video "identifying layers and shapes"
I am currently studying for my Histology exam in Med school and this was amazing!
I just have one question: in slide 28 (the trachea) I had initially identified the second layer as cuboidal epithelium, but then switched my answer to connective tissue because of the submucosa. What is the function of this cuboidal layer under the pseudostratified epithelium? Is it still part of the mucosa? Thank you so much in advance!
What you are seeing are submucosal glands which secrete antimicrobial proteins and mucus, so those simple cuboidal cells aren't part of the mucosal layer (although their product will be secreted onto the mucosal layer), they are in the submucosal layer and surrounded by the connective tissue of the submucosa.
Happy to help! Good luck in your studies!

What type of white blood cells are featured in question 24?
Eosinophil on the left, neutrophil on the right. Here's my video about differentiating leukocytes if you need it: th-cam.com/video/0ZIqDCjbQw8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Q8xgfaQQruV6aqic
I am having trouble differentiating between elastic tissue and fibrocartilage tissue.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to determine the difference?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Do you mean elastic connective tissue or elastic cartilage?
photos.app.goo.gl/WJQuGLTt6X2BN85Q6
first four are elastic connective tissue, second group of four are elastic cartilage, third group of four are fibrocartilage. If you can't differentiate tissues, your best bet is to get multiple examples of each side by side. elastic connective tissue clearly always has two types of fibers whereas fibrocartilage only has one type of fiber and elastic cartilage is densely packed with lacuna.
I meant to say elastic connective tissue and fibrocartilage! I miss-typed.
My book / class breaks them down into: Connective > Proper > Dense > Elastic, and then Connective > Supporting > Cartilage > Fibrocartialge. @@AnatomyHero
I appreciate your link and description. What can I do to help support your channel?
Good day ma. I have a question Thank you for such wonderful content. The last two silent slides... The one for smooth muscle seemed like cardiac to me because there were places where they branched and touched one another. Please explain why it's wrong.
The last one, I answered fibrocartilage because there were some circles that resembled lacunae having chondrocytes. Could you clear my confusion?
Thank you ma'am
If you look back at the smooth muscle one you'll see theres no striations or intercalated discs. The one place where you're seeing the cells "branch" is just a place where the tissue section got slightly pulled apart, bending some of the cells.
This video addresses your question about getting the last one confused with fibrocartilage: th-cam.com/video/oh-qutBwq2Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0FUv9FALBDaCGNo9
Because both of your mistakes involved cardiac muscle, I think simply learning how to ID intercalated discs (as shown in that video) would fix your problem! I also have a video specifically with muscle questions if that would help: th-cam.com/video/FI3-28tdovk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RDMENRn3qKxOQv1n
@@AnatomyHero Many thanks ma😊. I've understood it now.
hello can i request, please make a histology guide about where tissue locate and how they function 😢
Check out my basic histology playlist! I have videos for each family that talk about function and location (the ones that don't start with the word identifying)
Great content as usual.
Question 14 looks like dense regular connective tissue. How to distinguish it from smooth muscle?
The nuclei are inside the cells, whereas with dense connective you are seeing the nuclei of fibroblasts smooshed between non living collagen fibers. If you're not sure what I mean, you can watch this video where I compare the two tiasues: th-cam.com/video/5kmZ2Yo-gEg/w-d-xo.html
There's a bit of confusion between columnar epithelial and pseustratified epithelial. I think there is a mix up from the last videos and this one
If you give me time stamps and tell me what exactly you're questioning I can try and sort you out.
@@AnatomyHero the difference between simple columnar and pseudo stratified epithelium. Is it safe to say simple columnar is only found in a single layer and pseudo stratified epithelium is similar to columnar but appears to have layers?
@@AnatomyHero I had a bit of confusion but I'm clear now. Your videos are amazing ❤
@@myleshenry8658 correct, also pseudo stratified always has cilia (as far as I can tell even non-ciliated pseudostratified APPEARS ciliated because it has something called 'stereocilia'...I could be mistaken on that, but I spent hours one day trying to find an example of non-ciliated pseudostratified that didn't have stereocilia and all I could find was that it occurs in the fetal esophagus, and I couldn't even find pictures. The top search result on Google for non-cilitated pseudostratified is from study.com and it's actually just simple columnar that has been incorrectly labeled)

If you see intercalated discs/striations it's cardiac! The striations aren't always obvious but you should always see some intercalated discs (dark lines perpendicular to the muscle fiber)

I haven't watched this video but I pray and hope it helps me cause I have no ideal of how these tissues look or how to identify them under the Microscope and always confused in class.
If you are still having a lot of trouble, this isn't the best video to start with. I recommend going to my playlist and watching the videos that start with the word identifying (identifying epithelium, identifying connective tissue proper, identifying muscle, identifying cartilage) They all have examples and practice questions. If you can answer the questions in those videos, then you can try this video.
Basic Histology (AP I): th-cam.com/play/PLBM7jL93Kc2RFon6AxyVIeoAMtp0Ci13u.html
15:19 I swear that is Dense Regular Connective Tissue.....wat ._.
You know, I kind of see your point...it does have some of the.amtkers of being dense regular (nuclei in a line) but then also some of the nuclei appear to be inside the fiber which would make you think smooth muscle...
I'll see if I can figure out where I got this from to see if I can figure it out for sure.
@@AnatomyHero No worries, I ended up getting 100% A on my lab exam due to your histology videos.

Thankfully ❤
How is the last one cardiac?🙆♂️
I thought cells were sandwiched between fibers... lol. Thanks for the video, I got 28/39...
That one throws a lot of people off.. I don't have a good explanation for why so many of the nuclei appear like they are in holes outside of the muscle fiber... But the branching cells and intercalated discs are how you can tell that it is cardiac.
@@AnatomyHero wow, thanks a lot. There's one problem, I find it hard to notice intercalated discs, maybe I haven't understood them, but if someone told me to point one with 90% confidence, I wouldn't.
I should honestly make a video about that, because thats not the first time I've had someone say that...but for now: here are two pictures that indicate intercalated discs (one with arrows, the other with circles). Look around the slides and you will see a ton more.

2nd one in the silent part
Not trying to be rude all i see is hell
How do you make it to be elastic cartilage
I think you're taking about the slide at 22:52...if so....it's an ultra close up, those open spaces you're seeing are lacuna...and the fact that there are fibers in between the lacuna tells us it's elastic cartilage
If you don't see it, sometimes it's helpful to put multiple examples of the same tissue type side by side! Also, I have a video just about differentiating elastic if you go to my basic histology playlist
@@AnatomyHero thank you
great video!
