- 10. Recommended for urgent biopsies, for specimens like lungs, brain, eyes, spleen and CNS, considered as the most rapid.
- 11. similar to paraplast; melting point of 56-58 deg C.
- 14. for delicate tissues.
- 16. Clearing agent obtained from a citrus fruit.
- 20. can be use to clear smooth muscle of skin.
- 22. use for ricketssia and othe bacteria.
- 25. determine cause of death.
- 28. Removal of calcium ions or lime salts from the organic extracellular matrix, calcified collagen and surrounding.
- 29. also known as ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOETHYL ETHER.
- 30. are those fixatives use to preserve parts of the nucleus like nuclear chromatin, chromosome.
- 31. cutting off excess paraffin wax to form a four-sided prism.
- 34. use only for urgent biopsies.
- 36. For infiltrating bones, brain, teeth and whole organ.
- 38. Recommended only for frozen section and histochemical and enzyme studies.
- 40. routine dehydrating agent, commonly used because it is fast acting and non toxic.
- 41. allows the general microscopic study of tissue structures without altering the structural pattern and normal intercellular relationship of tissues.
- 45. Need to have auto technicon the automatic tissue processor.
- 49. dissolves paraffin.
- 52. AKA Collodion
- 53. a water soluble wax for enzyme
- 56. contains absolute alcohol, glacial HAC and chloroform.
- 57. remove clearing agent from tissues.
- 58. Most commonly used infiltrating agent because the process is very rapid.
Down
- 1. Can be use as ethanol substitute.
- 2. fixatives that when used combined with the tissues or absorbed/ absorbed by the tissue takin in by the tissue.
- 3. Not absorbed, not takin in by the tissue.
- 4. are fixatives use to preserve the chemical component of tissues like enzyme.
- 7. also known as Diethylene Dioxide.
- 8. routine clearing agent.
- 11. Harder than paraffin and requires heavy duty type of microtome.
- 12. Embedding for EM.
- 13. not commonly use because it is toxic and is suited only for blood and tissue films.
- 15. CT mucins & umbilical cord.
- 17. most reliable/ most accurate because this method can detect even smallest amt of calcium.
- 18. PRESENCE OF THIS WOULD MEAN THAT DECALCIFICATION IS NOT YET COMPLETE.
- 19. Corrosive a.k.a. Formol Sublimate.
- 20. Recommended for plants and animal micro technique.
- 21. product of paraffin with rubber.
- 23. recommended for fixation of embryos and pituitary biopsy and endometrial curettings.
- 24. are those that preserve parts of the cytoplasm like golgi body, mitochondria and so on
- 26. most common chrome osmium acetic acid fixative, excellent for nuclear structures.
- 27. May be used for neurochemical substances in brain like acetylcholine.
- 28. For infiltrating eye specimen.
- 32. classified both as nuclear and histochemical fixative.
- 33. - mixture of highly purified paraffin and synthetic plastic polymers.
- 35. it is fast acting fixative, regarded as smallest aldehyde fixative.
- 37. Carried out using oven the purpose is to keep the wax liquid.
- 39. Used for infiltrating eye specimen.
- 42. automatic tissue processor that can do fixation until infiltration.
- 43. for GIT biopsies & endocrine tissues.
- 44. a.k.a. Hely’s Fluid.
- 46. For rough tissues (skin, fibroid and decalcified tissues) for nervous tissues,lymph nodes and embryos.
- 47. Cheap, easy to prepare and readily available, stable.
- 48. are fixative use to preserve parts of the cell either nucleus or cytoplasm.
- 50. Recommended for clearing embryos for clearing insects and other very delicate insects and other delicate specimens.
- 51. eyes can use for eye specimen, it has a faint odor and low evaporation rate the reason why it can be a good substitute from cedarwood oil.
- 54. Use for acid mucopolyssacharide and also for tissue mucin.
- 55. Tissues tend to become adulterated.
