Hints for Slide ERG 21.  

This specimen is normal.  However, it does display some features that merit special note.

Because it comes from a child --

  • It is smaller than might otherwise be expected.
  • It represents an immature state of the organ.

It is remarkably complete, including more regions and supporting tissues than the slide in our reference slide set.

  • How many distinct regions can you locate on this specimen?

Hints on the next page are more revealing.  Don't look until you are ready to confirm your identification.
