From available literature, few studies have been conducted on the squirrel. These include The parotid is one of the major mammalian reports on necropsy findings of nematodes on captive salivary glands (Poddar and Jacob, 1977; Singh, African squirrel (Craig et al., 1998), rabies in fox 2003; Samuelson, 2007). The parotid glands squirrel (Cappucci et al., 1972), hepatocellular parenchyma usually consist of two sections-the carcinoma in Black-tailed prairie dogs- Cynomys secretory acini cells and transport ducts (Martinez- ludivicionus ( Garner et al., 2004), natural infection Madrigal and Micheau, 1989; Sato and Miyoshi, of the ground squirrel with Echinococcus granulosus 1998). The saliva secreted from the glands lubricates (Yang et al., 2009). Whereas the morphology of the the mucosa of the oral cavity especially dry foods parotid salivary gland has been documented in the before swallowing (Vissink, 2010). Its high mouse (Jonick, 2001), histoenzymological detection bicarbonate content has a buffering effect in the oral of sialic acids in the Winster rat parotid salivary cavity. Its aqueous secretion provides a medium for glands (Accili et al., 1996), quantitative study of dissolved food substances to stimulate the gustatory the parotid gland of the Fisher rat after orchiectomy cells. It initiates carbohydrates digestion through the (Jezek, et al., 1999), even morphogenesis and secretion of the enzyme amylase, and also controls functional differentiation of the rat parotid gland in bacterial flora by secreting lysozymes (Genkins, vivo and in vitro (Lawson, 1970), but in the African 1978). There are reports from literature that it secrets palm squirrel, there is dearth of information on its IgA, potassium and is involved in re-absorption of basic biology from available literature, hence this sodium (Ferraris et al., 1999; Pijpe et al., 2009). microanatomic investigation on its parotid salivary Rodents are the largest order in mammals.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

    Dr. Abeer.c.Yousif Histology -2nd stage What is histology? Histology is the science of microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues, in Greek language Histo= tissue and logos = study and it's tightly bounded to molecular biology, physiology, immunology and other basic sciences. Tissue: A group of cells similar in structure, function and origin. In tissue cells may be dissimilar in structure and functions but they are always similar in origin. Classification of tissues: despite the variations in the body the tissues are classified into four basic types: 1. Epithelium (epithelial tissue) covers body surfaces, line body cavities, and forms glands. 2. Connective tissue underlies or supports the other three basic tissues, both structurally and functionally. 3. Muscle tissue is made up of contractile cells and is responsible for movement. 4. Nerve tissue receives, transmits, and integrates information from outside and inside the body to control the activities of the body. Epithelium General Characterizes of epithelial tissues: 1. Cells are closed to each other and tend to form junctions 2. Little or non-intracellular material between intracellular space. 3. Cell shape and number of layers correlate with the function of the epithelium. 4. Form the boundary between external environment and body tissues. 5. Cell showed polarity 6. Does not contain blood vesicle (vascularity). 7. Mitotically active. 8. Rest on basement membrane (basal lamina). 9. Regeneration: because epithelial tissue is continually damage or lost. 10. Free surface: epithelial tissue always has apical surface or a free adage.

    BI315- ANIMAL CELLS, TISSUES, AND ORGANS Required Histology Slides – Fall 2010 Slide boxes will be available as the slides are assigned. Once the slides are out in the lab, they will remain for the rest of the semester. Slides have been cleaned and organized correctly over the summer; it is up to you to keep them clean and organized throughout the semester. It is very frustrating to try to find a slide that has been put in the incorrect location. Slides may be cleaned with lens tissue or Kimwipes. MICROSCOPES MAY BE CLEANED WITH LENS TISSUE ONLY!! Broken slides should be reported to me immediately for replacement or repair. Epithelial Tissue: Epithelium - General-- 1. squamous epithelium, human mouth, w.m. (whole mount) or epithelium, simple squamous, oral smear -- These cells and the cells in the next two slides are mounted so that they are viewed from the top. 2. frog skin, w.m. 3. mesothelium, silvered (simply a different way to stain cells) -- from where do you suppose the mesothelium comes? 4. columnar epithelium, small intestine, w.m. -- Most cells are separated from the epithelial sheet; the tissue was teased apart so the cells are lying individually or in small clumps. 5. simple columnar epithelium, amphibian gut -- The epithelium lines the gut lumen. 6. simple cuboidal epithelium, kidney or cuboidal epithelium: sec -- Cuboidal cells line many tubules.

Ruth Hines Creative Component Dr. Gunnar Mair Current Models of Ovarian Cancer ABSTRACT Ovarian cancer has proved to be one of the most difficult cancers to treat. It is often diagnosed in the late stages. When it is detected early, the 5-year survival rate is 93%. However, it is only detected early 15% of the time. For this reason, there is an emphasis on finding better tumor markers that can identify cancerous cells early. Ovarian cancers come from 3 different cell types. There are a variety of cancer subtypes from each type of cell. A one- size fits all treatment method isn’t feasible with so much variation. Models of ovarian cancer help understand the pathway of cancer development, find tumor markers for early detection, improve imagining techniques, and test drug therapies. Current models include transgenic mice, xenograft mice, chick chorioallantoic membrane, the laying hen, and 3-D human tissue cultures.
