BINUCLEATED CELLS
Several cell types have more than one nucleus. Skeletal muscle cells, for example, can have hundreds of nuclei. Hepatocytes often have two, or sometimes three or rarely four nuclei.
Look at the image and search for three binucleated cells, that is, three cells each having two nuclei.
You have already seen that cell boundaries are not always very visible, but remember that the nuclei of bi- or multinucleated cells are much closer together.
If you can not locate them, place the cursor or click on the image.
