Neuron: Pyramidal cell
-Dendritic spines: the little “thorns” on the creepy ominous neuron tree which are points of
synaptic contact b/w neurons
-Neuronal cell body of pyramidal cell: looks triangular
-FYI: axons don’t have spines, but dendrites do
Neuron: Pyramidal cell
-Dendritic spines (D)
-Axon (A)
-You can distinguish between them because axons don’t have spines,
but dendrites do

sites of synaptic contact with other
neighboring neurons

-Cell soma of pyramidal cell (1)
-Apical dendrite (2)
-Basal dendrite (3)
-Initial portion of axon (4)
-Cell soma of neuron in the striatum(5)
-Dendrite with spines (6)

Terminal Boutons
-(Black arrows)
-Terminal Boutons are the terminal knobs that synapse w/ other cells, while
Boutons en Passant (buttons in passing) are found along the axon.

Oh hey Harry Potter Nuclei!
Harry Potter nuclei and b/c smooth muscle is always in arteries
(aka this thick walled, alien squiggle beast with a lumen full of RBCs)
(Lines o’ nuclei, long, multinucleated cells, peripherally located nuclei)
Space between the sausage links!
(STRIATED, lines o’ nuclei, long, multinucleated cells, peripherally located nuclei)
Centrally located nuclei in cross section!
(peripherally located nuclei)
Shiny and wavy with THIN nuclei all over the place
...because plunger
