Introduction to Veterinary Histology

Question 1

is concerned with the external and internal structure of the organism.

Answer 1

Anatomy

Question 2

encompasses all those structural features studied by direct visual inspection, palpation, and dissection.

Answer 2

Gross Anatomy

Question 3

is the study of structures that includes minute parts that can be not be seen by naked eye.

Answer 3

Microscopic Anatomy (Histology)

Question 4

is an integral component of medical education, giving insights into normal structure and function at the microscopic level of the organization.

Answer 4

Histology

Question 5

the study of microanatomy of cells tussues and organs as seen through the microscope. and it examines the correlation between structure and function

Answer 5

histology

Question 6

are the building blocks upon which the organs are constructed in logical orderly, and consistent ways.

Answer 6

tissues

Question 7

the four basic tissue types;

Answer 7

1. epithelial tissue
2. connective tissue
3. muscular tissue
4. nervous tissue
   •adipose tissue

Question 8

permits direct observation of living cells.
it is routine because of the use of antibiotics

Answer 8

cell culture

Question 9

for preparing samples is simple and reliable, although cell and tissue modification results

Answer 9

paraffin technique

Question 10

is used on histological specimens the primary purpose of stopping postmortem autolysis.

Answer 10

chemical fixation

Question 11

examples of chemical fixatives;

Answer 11

1. formaldehyde
2. glutaraldehyde

Question 12

dehydrating agents:

Answer 12

1. ethanol- the most common
2. butanol
3. dioxane
4. isopropanol

Question 13

a concern for the altered morphology and function resulting from fixation and subsequent processing.

Answer 13

freezing techniques

Question 14

is usually applied to studies conducted with light microscopy

Answer 14

histochemistry

Question 15

is applicable to electron microscopy

Answer 15

cytochemistry

Question 16

this technique is useful with light and electron microscopic investigation for identifying and localizing potentially antigenic substances.

Answer 16

immunocytochemistry

Question 17

the preparation of biological materials for electron microscopy involves procedures similar to those described for the paraffin technique.

Answer 17

transmission electron microscopy

Question 18

this is used in histology and has a resolution limit of about 2200.

Answer 18

bright-field microscope

Question 19

this type of microscope uses an ultraviolet radiation source emitting wavelengths between 1000-3000 angstrom.

Answer 19

ultraviolet microscope

Question 20

this is visible light microscope uses an ultraviolet light source.

Answer 20

fluorescence microscope

Question 21

this is a modified bright-field microscope. the usual condenser is replaced by one that causes light to strike the image oblique angle.

Question 22

this is a modified bright-field microscope. the usual condenser is replaced by one that causes light to strike the image oblique angle.

Answer 22

dark-field microscope
