-
Methanol
-
Ethanol
-

Respuesta
-
Microwave
-
Heat
-
Ultrasound
-
Freeze
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
True or false: autolysis represents the changes to tissue that occur before fixation due to bacterial contamination.
Respuesta
- True
- False
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
What type of fixative is Neutral Buffered Formalin classed as?
Respuesta
-
Universal fixative
-
Fixative used for specific purposes
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Why is Formalin Buffered to a neutral pH?
Respuesta
-
because the further a fixative is from the pH of body tissues the more distortion you can get in the tissue at the cellular level.
-

Pregunta 10
Pregunta
What is the function of xylene in tissue processing?
Respuesta
-
To cut sections, the tissue has to be embedded in paraffin wax, but wax is not soluble in water or alcohol. However, it is soluble in a paraffin solvent called 'xylene'.
-
Cleaning up the lab station to prevent contamination of other specimens and users of the facilities
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Why is the histological section cut to approximately 5µm thick?
Respuesta
-
- Sample needs to be thin enough for light microscopy (about 1 cell layer thick) - makes it easier to evaluate tissue and look at its morphology
-
- Provides enough thickness to account for cell to cell ratio
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
List method/s used for the collection of Cytology samples.
Respuesta
-
- Pap Smears, Endoscopy samples, some FNA (fine needle aspiration) specimens
-
- Blood test, saliva test, sputum collection
