Blood                                         Chart

     
Cell types: Erythrocyte, neutrophil, esinophil, basophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, platelet
 

Differential diagnosis:
Other connective tissue types have fibers. Thyroid follicles may sometimes be confused with red blood cells in view of color similarities. Red cells are very small even under high power magnification.

Diagnostic Features:
a. Tissue is compact (e.g. liver)
b. Distinct red blood cells, which are red in color and are numerous, with interspersed white blood corpuscles.
c. Spaces are available in which corpuscles do not exist
d. No fibers are visible in section.

Database selection: Practical Tissue Gross

Level 1: Select  compact
Level 2: Select connective tissue from list of sclerous, muscular, connective, organ-glands and nervous tissues since there is heterogenous collection of cells and fibers.
Level 3: Select numerous spaces with the visibility of some thinness and spaces of tissue compactness. This will select both areolar and adipose tissues.
Level 4: Select nofibres and this will eliminate areolar tissue which has many fibers criss-crossing and parallel running..

Do you think this is a section of subcutaneous tissue or internal part of organ, or omentum or mesentery?
