Unit 2 Histology To fully take advantage of this review site, have available your Histology Supplement Sheet, your Van De Graaff text and the Rust text. These micrographs have limitations in color and clarity, and in that they provide only one view of the tissues we are studying. During the lab exam, you should be able to recognize these tissues, identify the bold faced terms and provide functions as indicated on your Histology Supplement Sheet. An arteriole will be a smaller version of this structure. When compared to a vein of comparable size, the artery's lumen will be smaller and the tunica media thicker.
Venules are smaller versions of a vein.
If an artery and vein of the same size are compared, the lumen of the vein would be larger and its tunica media thinner. The germinal center is a location of B-lymphocyte proliferation and the development of the immune response. This page was last updated in August, 1997.
