  5. 12. These tools are needed for handling sections during cutting
  6. 13. The thermostatically controlled type is preferable, but if is unavailable, water from a hot water tap can be used although this can give rise to air bubbles which may be trapped under cut sections.
  7. 15. due to extravascular accumulation of fluid.
  8. 16. These are thin slices of tissues are produced during sectioning
  9. 17. study of tumors or neoplasm

  13. 23. It is an alcohol fixation that focuses on connective tissue / CT mucins & umbilical cord
  14. 24. it is liquid at room temperature
  15. 26. Side that is concave is for cutting paraffin embedded tissues and the flat is for cutting celloidin embedded tissues.
  16. 27. allows the general microscopic study of tissue structures without altering the structural pattern and normal intercellular relationship of tissues
  17. 30. absence of ear canal
  18. 31. should expand the section to its original dimensions and ensure that it is completely flat.
  19. 33. involves the removal of gross nicks on the knife edge (Coarse Honing) to remove blemishes, and grinding the cutting edge of the knife on a stone to acquire an even edge
  20. 35. He invented Rotary Micrtome in 1885 to 1886 to cut paraffin embedded tissues
  21. 39. preserve chemical components of tissues like enzymes
  22. 41. common term for malignant tumors
  23. 43. recommended for enzyme histochemistry and EM (Electron Microscopy)
  24. 44. gives more polishing effect than Belgium yellow
  25. 45. for early degenerative processes and tissue necrosis; used for rickettsia and other bacteria
  26. 47. He is the one who developed sliding microtome in 1789
  27. 48. it is formed during honing is removed and the cutting edge of the knife is polished.

  30. 52. drying & wrinkling of the anterior chamber of the eye and cornea
  31. 55. This medium is used for methylene blue-stained nerve preparations and as a general purpose aqueous mountant.
  32. 57. Increases movement of molecules thereby accelerating fixation, staining, decalcification, immunohistochemistry and EM

  2. 2. seen in acute pancreatitis; affected organs appears like chalky white precipitates
  3. 4. Type of microtome which is for frozen section
  4. 6. It should be adjusted down to the lowest level possible because too high a concentration may adversely affect the tissue and produce artefact similar to that caused by excessive heat.
  5. 7. It has a high index of refraction and provides greater visibility if slightly diluted with water (for moist sections)

  7. 11. Aerosol sprays
  8. 14. An automatic tissue processor that can do fixation, dehydration, clearing, and infiltration
  9. 18. It should never come in contact with a strop because it blisters and destroy the leather.
  10. 21. A fixation method in which it uses chemical fixative such as 10% formalin
  11. 22. It is where hard tissue must undergo; immersing specimen in 4% aqueous phenol for 1-3 days
