Across
- 5. It becomes milky when an incompletely dehydrated tissue is immersed in it
- 6. acquired decrease in tissue or organ size; can be physiologic and pathologic
- 8. it is not commonly use because it evaporates easily and flammable
- 11. drying & wrinkling of the anterior chamber of the eye and cornea
- 12. allows the general microscopic study of tissue structures without altering the structural pattern and normal intercellular relationship of tissues
- 13. for connective tissue and umbilical cord
- 14. ALCOHOL recommended plant and animal
- 15. classified both as nuclear and histochemical fixative;can preserve nuclear proteins and mucopolysaccharides
- 16. stiffening of muscles after death
- 18. swelling due to extra vascular accumulation of fluid
- 24. accidental and unregulated its pathologic cells death
- 26. Stabilizes tissue proteins
- 27. mixture of highly purified paraffin and synthetic plastic polymers
- 28. used to preserve parts of the cell
- 29. Removal of dehydrating agent from tissues to replaced it with a medium that will dissolve the wax with which the tissues is to be impregnated.
- 30. preserve chromatin mitochondria, mitotic figures, golgi bodies and RBC containing colloid tissues.
Down
- 1. removal of clearing agent from tissues so that it will be replace by a medium that will fill all cavities and tissue spaces
- 2. Defined as the killing, penetration and hardening of tissues
- 3. recommended for fixing liver, spleen, connective tissue fibers and nuclei

- 20. Removal of calcium ions or lime salts from the organic extracellular matrix, calcified collagen and surrounding tissues of bones
- 21. Removal of intercellular & extracellular water from tissues after fixation & prior to wax impregnation
- 22. used for acid mucopolysaccharide and tissue mucin
- 23. for touch preparations
- 25. preserve the chemical components of tissues like enzymes
