 Tongue- This organ is a mass of interwoven, striated muscle tissue, interspersed with glands and fat and covered with a mucous membrane. Stained with Mallory trichrome stain, which contains three components- aniline blue, acid fuchsin, and orange G. As striated muscle, human tongue muscle usually stains red, due to the orange G component of stain.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
 The tongue is divided in to dorsal and ventral surface. The dorsal surface is a stratified squamous keratinized epithelium which is characterized by numerous
 <em>
  mucosal projections called papilla
 </em>
 e.  The ventral surface is stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium which is smooth.
</p>
<p>
 Tongue section- showing lingual papillae, taste buds, striated muscles, gustatory pore.

Foldscope as an educational and teaching tool-Histology of Tongue

<p>
 After attending workshops on foldscopy, students have started enjoying using foldscope as a tool for their routine microbiological work. A class activity was organized to observe histology of various lymphoid organs. It was organized in a small group to make it more interactive session. They have observed primary and secondary lymphoid organs and recorded their observations.

Immunology Class Activity

<p>
 To study the histology of Spleen- A Secondary lymphoid organ observed by students in class activity
</p>
<p>
 Spleen is a large, ovoid, secondary lymphoid organ situated high in the left abdominal cavity.  Spleen performs the function of filtering blood and traps the blood borne antigens. Blood borne antigens and lymphocytes are carried into the spleen through the splenic artery, which branches into arterioles. The splenic white pulp surrounds  the branches of the splenic artery, forming a periarteriolar lymphoid sheath (PALS) populated mainly by T lymphocytes.
</p>
<p>
 Outer surface of the spleen consists of a capsule that extends a number of projections called trabeculae and interior components are collectively called the pulp.

 The pulp is clearly visible in two different forms: red and white. The splenic red pulp consists of a network of sinusoids populated by macrophages and numerous red blood cells and few lymphocytes.  The organ appears as a large expanse of red pulp dotted with white pulp.

 Red pulp is called red due to the presence of large numbers of erythrocytes in blood vessels called sinuses and white pulp is “white” due to lack of these sinuses and consequently fewer erythrocytes.  The red pulp surrounds the white pulp which appears like lymphatic nodules. Closer inspection of the white pulp indicates that there is a “splenic arteriole”, sometimes called a central artery, close to the center of each area of white pulp.

 The area of white pulp where T cells are located is readily seen.  This area consists of numerous T cells forming a kind of sheath around the central artery; forming a periarteriolar lymphoid sheath or PALS. Primary lymphoid follicles are attached to the PALS. These follicles are rich in B cells and some of them contain germinal center.
