Hints for Slide CRR 05.  

General hints for all slides.

SAQ Slide Index.

The source for this specimen should be obvious (and confidently so), provided you are familiar with the organ it represents. Note the texture (1) that occupies much of this specimen. Within this texture are numerous small "knots", about 200 micrometers in diameter, which are a most distinctive feature for this organ. You should be able to identify these "knots", as well several other details that comprise this region.   Note that the texture appears quite different in the region indicated by (2). How is does this region differ from that indicated by (1)?   Note several prominent tubes, indicated by (3).  What are these?   This specimen may show certain features (such as vasa recta) more clearly than the slide in your reference collection. No more hints.
