what is the aim of clearing
to replace alcohol with something that paraffin wax is soluble with
what is embedding
fresh wax is poured over and left to solidify
what is the benefit of embedding
makes labelling the specimen easier and easier to cut thinly
why is the thin sections of tissue put in a warm bath
to get rid of any any creases from the tissue
what colour does basic and acdic stain go
adaic stain - red or pink
basic - blue or purple
what is the charge of basic and acdic stains
aididic - negatively
basic stains - positvevly
PAS

where do gap junctions lie
beanth the zonal occludens and zonal adherins in most epithelial and cardiac muscle cells
what are 6 protien units together called
connexone that formws a communicating junctions
what is another name for the desmosome
macula adherence
what is a hemi desosome
half of a structure of the desmosome
examples of exocrine gland and ednocrine glands

what does pale fibroblasts nuclei mean
DNA is active and opened up for transcription and translation
how do leukocytes contraction of a wound
producing collagen fibres and tugging the edges of the wound to draw them together
what is diapedesis
leukocyutes squeeze themslesves in ebtween endothelial cells of the blood vessel
what can macrophages also be dervied from (non main)
mesenchyme
what is abduent in the cytoplasm around marcophages
what are these useful for
lysomes and pahlysoomes
digest facotyose and breakdown substances while clearing away any debris
what is the cytoplasm of mast cells got
basophillic secretory granules
what does the location of mast cells near small blood vessels allow
perform sentienl function for host defence
what are mast cells sentive to - what do they do when they detect a forgeiin substance
rapidly release their contents
where are lympcoytes found
in the digestive tract of connective tissue

what is the clock face of plasma
perioheral regions of heterchromatin alternating with lighter areas of eurohcromatin
what is the function of plasma
produce antibodies
what do the antiobdies of plasma do
neturrlaize harmful antigens
render toxins harmless
promote phagocytosis
protect the body from microgoraism
how is collagen formed
by fibroblasts that form three polypeptide chains that self assemble
known as a triple helix arrangement
