Answer: fried egg

Flashcard 3: The intermediate filament Vimentin is found in _____ tissue

Answer: mesenchymal

Flashcard 4: Which class of cells have a round, densely stained nucleus with a small amount of cytoplasm? _____

Answer: Lymphocytes (e.g. B cells, T cells, NK cells)

Flashcard 5: _____ differentiate from circulating blood monocytes

Answer: Macrophages

Flashcard 6: Embryological origin of the dermis?

Answer: Mesoderm (and Neural Crest) :: mostly derived from Mesoderm (lateral plate and paraxial), but facial dermis is from Neural Crest.

Extra: The dermis has a dual origin: 1. Paraxial mesoderm (dermatome): Dermis of the back. 2. Lateral plate mesoderm: Dermis of the ventral body wall and limbs. 3. Neural crest cells: Dermis of the face and anterior neck.

Flashcard 7: What organelles are stained with Nissl substance?

Answer: RER

Flashcard 8: What type of cytoskeletal element is most associated with cell structure?
