Down
- 2. Used for writing when labeling specimens.
- 3. This dehydrating agent is toxic when inhaled, ingested, and upon prolonged skin contact.
- 5. An atrophy that may develop due to excessive workload.

- 15. An alcohol fixative that is used for fixing wet and dry smears, blood smears, and bone marrow tissues.
- 16. It is a potent anticoagulant but a weak decalcifying agent.
- 20. It is also known as Pre-neoplastic Lesion or Atypical Metaplasia.
- 22. A natural vegetable dye from lichens, used mainly in dermatology due to its ability to demonstrate fine and delicate fibers.
