Histology Mnemonics


T

Taste buds: vallate vs. fungiform distribution

  • Cross sectional shape of the top of the bud tells their distribution.
  • Vallate: has a shallow ‘V‘ at the top, so has a ‘V‘ distribution at the back of the tongue.
  • Fungiform: top is round so it is towards the round end of the tongue.
    • Note vallate is also sometimes called circumvallate.
      • Author: Robert O’Connor University College Dublin

L

Leukocytes: granulated and agranulated: “BEN Loves Money”:

Granulocytes:

  • Basophil
  • Eosinophil
  • Neurophil

Agranulocytes:

  • Lymphocytes
  • Monocytes
  • ­ Alternatively: Granpa BEN…” to keep the granulated group straight.
    • Author: Priya and Abe UNIBE

M

  1. Mast cell primary granule contents“Master, His Hepes Causes Choking & Gagging!”:
  • Mast = Mast cell
  • His = Histamine
  • He= Heparin
  • C = Chymase
  • Ch = Chemotactic factor for eosinophils
  • Gag = GAGase
    • Author: Ms Sushi UCLA Medicine

 

Muscle cells: cardiac vs. skeletal’s nuclei location/number

  • Nuclei location mirrors where the muscle is located in human body.
  • Heart muscle is in the middle of body, so heart muscle has nucleus in middle.
  • Skeletal muscles are at periphery of body, so nuclei are at periphery.
  • Also, you have 1 heart, so usually only 1 nucleus per heart muscle cell, but have many skeletal muscles,
  • so have many nuclei per long fibre.
    • Author: Robert O’Connor University College Dublin

 

Muscle sarcomere: A vs. I as light or dark

  • There is only one vowel in “dark” and one vowel in “light”.
  • These one vowels match up to their one letter names:
  • DArk band is the A
  • LIght band is the I
    • Author: Robert O’Connor University College Dublin

 

Muscle sarcomere: H line vs. Z disc location

  • HAZI (Hazy):
  • H line is in A-band.
  • Z disc is in the I
    • Author: Sujay Patel University College Dublin

N

Neutrophil’s 2 distinctive physical features

1: There’s up to 5 lobes of the nucleus joined by thin appendages. Tie this to it being a
neutrophil nucleus by arranging the 5 lobes into a capital N for Neutrophil.

2: the chicken leg (Barr Body) sticking out. Say it out loud: chick-N. The chick-N leg is for
Neutrophil.

  • Intima
  • Media
  • Adventitia
