Table 6 Biological “fibers”: nomenclature

Connective tissue fibers

specific structured constituents of the intercellular

 

matrix

Collagen fibers

Collagen fibers are birefringent in polarized light. They form fascicles (fas-

 

ciculi collagenosi). When boiled in water, they form glue, such as bone glue.

 

Collagen fibers occur in all connective and supportive tissue

 

 

Reticular fibers

Structured constituents of the intercellular matrix in reticular connective

 

tissue, positive PAS reaction

 

 

Argyrophilic fibers

Thinner reticular fibers, which can only be seen using the silver impregnation

 

technique, delicate matrix fibers, for example

 

 

Elastic fibers

Shiny fibers, strongly refract light in unstained preparations; the fibers branch

 

and form meshworks, web lamellae and elastic membranes, contain elastin

 

and microfibrils about 12 nm thick

 

 

Sharpey fibers

Collagen fibers, which radiate from the periosteum into the bony tissue, they

 

secure the attachment of tendons, bands and periosteum to the skeleton

 

 

Tomes fibers

Processes of odontoblasts that are located in the dentine canaliculi (dentine

 

fibers), also cellular structures

 

 

Lens fibers

Lens epithelial cells that have grown longitudinally and lost their nuclei;

 

lens fibers can be up to 10 mm long. They are the major components of the

 

lens

 

 

Glial fibers

Processes of certain macroglial cells

 

 

Nerve fibers

Processes of nerve cells—i.e., axons and their sheaths (oligodendrocytes

 

for central nervous system fibers, Schwann cells for peripheral nerve

 

fibers)

 

 

Smooth muscle fibers

Muscle cells or bundles often are erroneously called muscle fibers

 

 

Striated muscle fibers

Smallest building units of the skeletal musculature, multinucleated tubular

(skeletal muscle fibers)

syncytia

 

 

Heart muscle fibers

Incorrect name for heart muscle cells; often also used for a strand (cord) of

 

apposed heart muscle cells

 

 

Purkinje fibers

Subendocardial termini of the nervous system of the heart, specific muscle

 

cells

Table 15 Alveolar glands and “gland-like” organs: differential diagnosis

Organ

Formation of lobes

Acini – mucous membrane –

 

 

epithelium – duct systems

 

 

 

Prostate gland

Marginally developed; outer

 

periurethral zone, inner and

 

outer zone

30–50 tubuloalveolar glands with wide lumina; raised epithelial areas and invaginations; cuboidal epithelium as well as single or double-layered columnar epithelium; 15–30 secretory ducts end on the seminal colliculus and in the surrounding urethra, prostatic ducts

Efferent ductules of

8–12 efferent ductules form a

the testis

conical lobe

Raised surface areas and pits create an undulating surface in the lumen; cuboidal epithelium in the base of the pits, multilayered columnar epithelium with kinocilia and/or microvilli (brush border) on the upper raised portions; the efferent ductules wind strongly and end in the vas deferens

Seminal vesicle

Only apparently partitioned

About 15 cm long coiled duct; bizarre relief of sur-

 

into lobes

face folds with primary, secondary and tertiary folds

 

 

and invaginations (alveoli) with wide lumina; single or

 

 

double-layered columnar epithelium; secretory duct

 

 

 

Bulbourethral

Barely expressed

Branched tubular glands with invaginations, sometimes

glands(Cowper’s

 

alveolar acini; single-layered cuboidal to columnar epi-

glands)

 

thelium, secretory duct

 

 

 

Mammary gland

15–20 single branched tubuloalveolar glands, alveolar

 

 

acini of different size, epithelial cells of different height

sion); always visible: sections of large lactiferous ducts

 

 

 

Ampulla of the oviduct

Tunica mucosa with many folds, primary, secondary

 

 

and tertiary folds; narrow slit-shaped lumina; single-

 

 

layered columnar epithelium with secretory cells and

 

 

ciliated cells

 

 

 

Thyroid gland

Clearly discernible

Follicles (= “alveolar acini”), variable in shape and size

 

 

(50–500 μm); single-layered epithelium, height varies

 

 

with functional state; no secretory ducts, because it is

 

 

an endocrine gland

 

 

 

Embryonic lung

Clearly discernible

Acini often appear in the form of branched epithelial

 

 

tubes or not quite developed alveoli; cuboidal epithe-

 

 

lium; clearly discernible system of canals

Strong wall made of a meshwork of smooth muscle cells (= tunica muscularis)

Tunica adventitia becomes dense and forms a capsule on the surface

Gland tubules surrounded by smooth muscle cells;

Noticeably light gland cells, clearly defined cell borders

interspersed with striated muscle fibers of the deep

 

transverse perineal muscle

 

 

 

Poorly developed connective tissue; the secretory product in

 

the gland lumina can be stained

Tunica muscularis: outer longitudinal layer, more pronounced middle circular layer of smooth muscle cells, inner longitudinal layer (weakly developed)

Clearance with tall branched mucous membrane plicae that almost fill the lumen; outer serosa

Follicles filled with colloid; connective tissue capsule, trabecu-

 

lae; parafollicular cells (C-cells)

 

 

Remarkably cell-rich mesenchymal connective tissue
