These detailed observations of Figure 13.28 highlight distinct features in various anatomical slides. From salivary glands' acini and ducts to the liver's hepatocytes and sinusoids, each image captures unique structures, offering a comprehensive insight into the histology of organs like the ileum, duodenum, and esophagus.
i. In Figure 13.28, slide pictures 2, 3, and 4 show salivary glands. You can see the acini (clusters of secretory cells) and the ducts (tubes that carry saliva) in these slides.
ii. In Figure 13.28, slide picture 9 shows the liver. You can see the hepatocytes (liver cells) arranged in cords and separated by sinusoids (blood vessels) in this slide.
iii. In Figure 13.28, slide picture 12 shows the ileum. You can see the villi (finger-like projections) and the goblet cells (mucus-secreting cells) in this slide.
iv. In Figure 13.28, slide picture 11 shows the duodenum. You can see the Brunner’s glands (submucosal glands) and the crypts of Lieberkühn (intestinal glands) in this slide.
v. In Figure 13.28, slide picture 1 shows the esophagus. You can see the stratified squamous epithelium (layer of flat cells) and the muscularis externa (layer of muscle) in this slide.
