Q

for seeing the general view

A

coarse adjustment knob

28
Q

magnifies the specimen

A

eyepiece

29
Q

controls the amount of light

A

diaphragm

30
Q

4 steps in tissue preparation

A

Fixation
Embedding
Sectioning
Staining

31
Q

stabilizes and preserves the tissue
should be done quickly to avoid postmortem changes in cell structure
hardens the specimens for sectioning

A

fixation

32
Q

used to react with proteins and stabilize cell structure

A

Formaldehyde (formalin)

33
Q

the tissue is fixed ?

A

overnight

34
Q

the water is removed from fixed specimen by passing it thru a series of ascending alcohol (ethanol) concentrations

A

post fixation

35
Q

alternative to fixation, specimens are frozen

A

Freezing

36
Q

converts the tissue to a solid form which can be sliced or sectioned

A

embedding

37
Q

clearing agent used in embedding

A

xylene

38
Q

liquid/chemical that can solidify the specimen upon cooling

A

melted wax (paraffin) or epoxy solution

39
Q

production of very thin slices from tissue sample to be used for microscopy

A

sectioning

40
Q

tool used for sectioning, can be simple as a razor/bladed/complex machine

A

microtome

41
Q

provides fro visual contrast, which may help identify specific tissue components

A

staining

42
Q

basic stain with deep purple or blue color

A

hematoxylin

43
Q

acidic stain with red color

A

eosin

44
Q

also known as wheatley identification

3 dyes are used to further differentiate one structure

A

trichrome stain

45
Q

used for staining intestinal protozoan cyst

A

trichrome stain

46
Q

fixative is highly recommended for the preservation of fecal specimens before parasitological

A

Polyvinyl alcohol

47
Q

size for sectioning

A

5mm

48
Q

pancreas functions

A

exocrine, endocrine

49
Q

2 hormones secreted by pancreas

A

insulin and glucagon

50
Q

type I cartilage

A

Ligaments, bones, tendons, organ capsules and dermis of skin

51
Q

type II cartilage

A

hyaline c, elastic cartilage, reticular fibers

52
Q

type III

A

reticular fibers

53
Q

type IV

A

basal lamina assoc with epithelial and endothelial cells

54
Q

type V

A

basal lamina assoc with muscle

55
Q

forms the anchoring fibrils that links basement membrane

A

type VI

56
Q

glassy matrix

A

hayline cartilage

57
Q

thick bundles of collagen fibers in matrix

A

fibrocartilage

58
Q

dense c.t that surrounds each lymph node, contains bv and lv

A

capsule

59
Q

highly cellular and deeply basophilic packed with lymphocytes aggregated into nodule

A

cortex

60
Q

pale staining center part of lymphatic nodules

A

germinal centers

61
Q

resembles lymphocytes when there is infection

A

germinal centers

62
Q

separates cortex from capsule

A

marginal sinus

63
Q

immediately beneath the capsules and contains macrophages and reticular cells

A

marginal sinus

64
Q

less cellular and contains macrophages, plasma cell and more lymph nodes

A

medulla

65
Q

fibrous c.t that extends thru the cortex into the medulla

A

internodular trabeculae
