AW: [Histonet] Histo arcania ... Reticulum vs Reticulin

[Gudrun Lang]

A small correction:
The German word is not "Glitterfaser" but "Gitterfaser".  And "Gitter" means
net or grid.
My old latin dictionary says: Reticulum means "small net" , going back to
"rete" as net.

I think the correct name for the stain should be reticulum-stain, because
it's more or less unspecific to special proteins.

Gudrun

There is only a semantics difference. "Reticulum" is a connective mesh
holding together some organs components such as liver, spleen, lymph nodes
and bone marrow. In the German literature is called "glitterfassern" and
many silver stains, such as Gomori, are specific for it.
"Reticulin" is used either to refer to the "holding mesh" or to the stain,
especially when dealing with bone marrow specimens.

Oh Great Histonet, how do you describe the difference, if any, between the
terms "reticulum" and "reticulin."
