Kidney Slide
Microscope Slide
(Label: renal tubule;
glomerulus; cuboidal
epithelium; simple
squamous)
HISTOLOGY QUESTIONS:
1. List distinguishing characteristics that allow identification of a glomerulus.
2. What is the importance of the transitional epithelium in the urinary bladder?
3. View the microscopic image of the mammalian kidney shown below. The glomeruli and nephrons are
pictured in the photo. What region of the kidney is pictured?
Microscopic image of a mammalian kidney on low power using dark field microscopy. Glomeruli are found
near the top margin of the kidney, as a reddish color. © Jubal Harshaw
