Histology of basic tissue

In our histology practicals, we had spots where we had to do on the spot identification looking at the slide through a microscope to tell what part of the body it was taken from. Basic tissue includes bone, tendons, cartilage, muscle, etc. In the bone slide, Haversian system is seen. Tendons have parallel collagen fibres. Cartilage has chondrocytes and muscle has myocytes.
We thus look for the most frequently occurring cells and their arrangement.
