Stereocilia on simple columnar epithelia, H&E


 
This is a H&E stain of epithelial cells from the penis. I cant remember if it is a section from the ductus deferens or the epididymis, but I doubt even you men know the difference so lets leave it at that. The wispy bits at the top are sterocilia, which aid in secretion and absorption by increasing cell surface area. The picture I drew of the elephants below is almost entirely unrelated. Well, I guess the elephants' trunks are a bit phallic.

  1. Are you sure this isn't stratified columnar epithelium?
