similar in appearance, even when imaged using high-
resoiution electron microscopy.
— small in size
— very little cytoplasm is observable
— rounded cells in vivo as well as in cell culture
— Under normal cell culture conditions,
lymphocytes do not adhere to the substrate.
Macrophages. can adhere to the substrate during
growth in culture
— not as tightly as epithelial and fibroblasts
— results in a more spherical shaped cell
— can be identified by the presence of vimentin.

Fibroblast
1 sample were lymphocytes because
— small in size
— very little cytoplasm is observable
2- epithelial have irregular shapes
3 macrophages
— not as tightly as epithelial and fibroblasts
— results in a more spherical shaped cell
4- fibroblast have fusiform: wide in the middle and
tapered at the ends.Introduction.
Cells that are derived or isolated from tissue of a
mammal
* major types:
— Fibroblast
— Epithelial cells
—Lymphoblast
Fibroblast. In vivo, fibroblasts exist as single fusiform
cells embedded within connective tissue.
— Fusiform: wide in the middle and tapered at
the ends.
Play an important role in normal physiological
processes such as wound healing by secreting matrix
proteins, growth factors and cytokines.
Epithelial cells.
+ three possible shapes in the body
— squamous
— cuboidal
— columnar
They are found throughout the body, including the
epidermis, digestive system, reproductive system, and
endocrine system. Cell Culture:
— adhere tightly to the substrate, resulting in
flattened cell morphology
— form a contiguous monolayer due to contact
inhibition
— The intermediate filament protein keratin is
used as a cellular marker
Limphocytes. Unstimulated T and B cells are very
similar in appearance, even when imaged using high-
resolution electron microscopy.
