im studying histology and i just like the little guys that work so hard to keep our organisms up and running

‘histology’

[surfacemaiden]

microscopic images

brain cortex;

brain cortex with better vision of the neurons;

mammalian gland;

trachea;

cerebellum;

also cerebellum. both images are beautiful i couldn't choose just one;

sublingual gland

edit: muting because help why is this so getting many notes? i'm just very surprised but i appreciate this

Which contestant should be declared the winner of the yeast eating contest?

a) Gobble guts with undeniably the most yeast out of everyone

b) The multinucleated cell that died because of how many yeast it ate

c) The multinucleated cell that started eating spectators AND yeast

d) The multinucleated cell that went rogue and ONLY ate ONE spectator

e) The single macrophage who ate one yeast and is now 99% yeast

f) The spectators who decided to join in and have a go

g) The multinucleated giant cell who has more nuclei than sense (and yeast)

h) The multinucleated giant cell that ate so many yeast that it disappeared

i) The multinucleated giant cell who consumed arguably the largest yeast

Robbins' Pathologic Basis of Disease is my sleep paralysis demon.

“Neurons as seen through the microscope of Golgov Klimt” (2025).

Golgi-stained neuron histology slides have always reminded me somehow of Gustav Klimt’s paintings. So here are some neurons à la Klimt. Inspiration and reference below

today in histology we saw little flowers and big galaxies

i am SO SO SO curious about how long it would've taken for dinosaurs to grow!!! What do we know about how non-avians would've gone about this, especially those colossal sauropods?

I know that in modern dinosaurs this timeline is skewed a bit since a lot of them only spend one to a few months in a nest before fledging. However flightless species like emus and emperor penguins can take around a year to reach that full size. Would the non-avian dinosaurs have been similar?

So we actually can track dinosaur growth via histology!

Bones grow like tree trunks and we can count the rings!

Different dinosaurs had different growth patterns! I don't remember all of them off the top of my head, but T. rex (for one example) had a growth curve remarkably similar to people!
