Q

T/F: Fibrin is typically associated with chronic processes

A

False!

You don’t see fibrin in chronic processes because by then it should already by phagocytosed. You will however see fibrous tissue

What stain would you use to highlight the granules of mast cells?

What is the stain actually staining?

A

Toluidine Blue

Stains the mucopolysaccharides (such as heparin)

The granules of eosinophils and neutrophils will not stain with toluidine blue because they do not contain mucopolysaccharides

A

Catarrhal/mucopurulent exudate

105
Q

Which of these factors does not tend toward repair via fibrosis?
