Slips and Falls are common in what type of hazard?

A

Physical Hazard

24
Q

These are physical hazard that is often left unnoticed

A

Electrical, Mechanical, Acoustic and Thermal Hazard

25
Q

This type of hazard can cause disease in humans regardless of the source

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

26
Q

What are the examples of Biological Hazards?

A

Infectious Agents
Contaminated solutions
Specimens
Objects
Allergens
Molds
Fungi

27
Q

It is the most important health hazard that is often overlooked

A

ALLERGENS

28
Q

This particular device is used by Pathologist and Histotechnologist for viewing of specimens

A

MICROSCOPE

29
Q

_______________ is the one who examines and identifies the disease under the microscope

A

PATHOLOGIST

30
Q

_______________________ examines the same slide microscopically for quality control to determine whether all technical processes are done properly

A

HISTOTECHNOLOGISTS

31
Q

The following aspects are needed for a good quality microscope

A

Must magnify object
Must resolve the details of the object
Must make the details visible

32
Q

It is one the most commonly used microscope in the laboratory

A

COMPOUND MICROSCOPE

33
Q

BASIC PARTS OF THE MICROSCOPE

A

Base- provides support
Arm- support and hold the magnifying system/handle
Stage- platform where the slides are placed
Substage- located directly under the stage which holds the condenser and diaphragm
Mechanical stage- permits the movement of the stage while holding the slide
Condenser- moved up and down
Diaphragm- left and right

34
Q

TYPES OF EYEPIECE

A

MONOCULAR
BINOCULAR
TRINOCULAR

35
Q

What are the types of objective lens magnification

A

4x RED- SCANNER
10x YELLOW- LOW POWER OBJECTIVE
20x GREEN-
40x BLUE- HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE
100x GRAY/WHITE- OIL IMMERSION OBJECTIVE

36
Q

Planned system of review procedures conducted by a personnel not directly involved in the laboratory process

A

QUALITY ASSURANCE

52
Q

Two distinct systems of Quality Assurance

A

Selective system- stained preparations from departamental archival records are used to assess the quality of staining
