Struggling with histology? Try these histology slide quizzes

Histology practice

It goes without saying that whatever topic you’re studying, practice makes perfect. That is to say, the more time you spend examining histology slides, the easier it will become. You’ll learn which characteristics to look out for - which shapes, colours and patterns are typical of a certain type of tissue. 

Want to get started practicing and reviewing your histology knowledge right away? Check our our expert-created anatomy refresher tools. 

But how exactly do you get that practice? With Kenhub’s huge library of histology slides, of course! In our histology atlas, we clearly highlight a given structure on our slides. Comparing several of these slides next to one another is a great way to get a feel for how one tissue differs from another. Enter: our labeled and unlabeled histology tissue identification quiz worksheets.

Tissue identification quiz worksheets

Let’s start with the topic of blood cells. You’re going to be filling in a labeled worksheet of the different types later, but first you’ll need to know how to identify them. The cell size, shape of the nucleus and color of cytoplasmic bodies and granules are good indicators to put you on the right track - but check out our video on blood cells to learn about each type of blood cell in more detail. 

Now, download the worksheet with 9 types of labeled blood cells using the link below. See if you can connect the explanations of each blood cell characteristic described in the video with what you see on the worksheet. Then, once you’re ready, you can download the unlabeled tissue identification quiz worksheet and try to fill in the names of each blood cell yourself.
