The peripheral nervous system relies on nerves to transmit signals between the central nervous system and the body, with their structure featuring protective connective tissue layers and bundled axons for efficient conduction. This image, including a schematic diagram and a light micrograph (LM × 40) from simian tissue provided by the Regents of University of Michigan Medical School © 2012, illustrates key components such as the epineurium, perineurium, endoneurium, fascicle, axon, blood vessels, and spinal nerve, offering a clear view of nerve organization. Understanding these elements is fundamental to grasping how nerves maintain integrity and function in signal transmission.

Dive into the microscopic anatomy of the fibula with this detailed diagram, showcasing a transverse section at x250 magnification. This article, tailored for medical students, provides an in-depth exploration of the labeled components, including the osteon, Haversian canal, osteocytes, and canaliculi, as depicted in the vectorized image. Gain a comprehensive understanding of compact bone structure and its functional significance in the skeletal system.

The histological image presented here captures the intricate zonal architecture of a normal secondary lymphoid follicle with its distinctive compartments clearly delineated. Each zone harbors specific cell populations and plays unique roles in orchestrating humoral immune responses. Understanding the microanatomy of lymphoid follicles provides crucial insights into immunological processes, pathological changes in immune disorders, and the development of targeted immunotherapies.
