- 19. it preserves parts of the nucleus and usually contain glacial acetic acid.
- 23. it is the process of getting a tissue sample from a LIVING PERSON.
- 25. it is inferior compared to nitric acid in its role as decalcifying agent because of its slower action and greater distortion of tissue produced on the decalcified section.
- 30. it is the remedy for the inactivation of alkaline phosphatase activity.
- 31. can dehydrate and clear tissue at the same time. It may cause conjuctival irritation.
- 33. specimen to be processed to determine cause of death.
- 34. allows the general microscopic study of tissue structures without altering the structural pattern and normal intercellular relationship of tissues.
- 36. it is the routine tissue fixative.
- 38. the positive result for this method in testing the completeness of decalcification is by having a presence of bubbles.
- 39. clearing agent, toxic to liver.
- 40. both decalcifying acid and tissue softener.
- 41. the thickness for this specimen is 2cm.
- 44. type of fixatives that is use to preserve parts of cell.
- 45. process of removing dehydrating agent from tissues to replace it with a medium that will dissolve the wax with which the tissues is to be impregnated.
- 46. process of removing intercellular and extracellular water from tissues after fixation and prior to wax impregnation.
- 53. it is an environmental toxin
- 54. Fix myelin and peripheral nerves. Processing neurological tissues.
- 55. dehydrating agent that dissolves the paraffin.
- 56. can dehydrate and clear tissue at the same time. Tissue tends to ribbon poorly.
- 57. process of removing a calcium or lime salts from the organic extracellular matrix, calcified collagen and surrounding tissues of bones
- 58. most common chelating agent in the market.
- 59. this is the preferred osmolality in fixation process.
- 60. it is the only weak acid used extensively as a primary decalcifying agent.
Down
- 1. dehydrating agent that are toxic by inhalation, skin contact and ingestion.
- 3. following fixation, in this process you can use tap water, alcoholic iodine and 50-70% alcohol.
- 4. considered as the most rapid decalcifying acid.
- 6. causes glycogen polarization.
- 8. a type of alcohol fixatives that classified both as nuclear and histochemical fixative.
- 9. excellent for glycogen demonstration.
- 12. this fixation method is mostly done for bacterial smear.
- 14. it is the process of entering the details of the specimen in a log book.
- 15. the positively charged calcium ions are attracted to negative electrodes from the decalcifying solution
- 16. placing an already fixed tissue to a second fixative.
- 18. is a very weak decalcifying solution suitable only for minute pieces of bone.
- 20. dehydrating agent and can also fix tissue at the same time. It evaporates quickly and highly flammable.
- 21. the one who process/prepare the specimens after the gross examination.
- 22. dehydrating agent for sections and smears and it causes minimun shrinkage.
- 24. it is the routine clearing agent.
- 26. it is the routine dehydrating agent.
- 27. fixative that is recommended for enzyme histochemistry and EM.
- 28. preserves chemical components of tissues.
- 29. In fixation process, human brain must undergo ______.
- 32. may be use as a holding solution for tissues to be transported to frozen sections or kidney biopsies for special processing.
- 35. it makes the sample processing quick and painless.
- 37. it is the process of immersing the specimen in 4% aqueous phenol for 1-3 days.
- 42. most commonly used acid in decalcification process.
- 43. defined as the killing, penetration and hardening of tissues.
- 47. this is the most reliable and most accurate method for testing the completeness of decalcification.
- 48. the one who perform the microscopic examination.
- 49. the fixation is traditionally carried out at this temperature.
- 50. a medium such as a solution or spray that preserves specimens of tissues or cells.
- 51. clearing agent that is highly flammable and carcinogenic, can damage BM leading to Aplastic anemia.
- 52. study of tissues.
