General Histology 1

What is the main difference between general histology and special histology?

• General histology focuses on tissue structure, while special histology focuses on tissue function.

• General histology studies living cells, while special histology studies dead cells.

• General histology uses basic dyes, while special histology uses acidic dyes.

• General histology deals with tissue organization, while special histology deals with tissue adaptation in organs.

What is the main focus of general histology?

• The study of living cells only

• The arrangement of tissues in organs

• The microscopic structure of tissues

• The chemical composition of tissues

Which instrument is primarily used to cut tissue samples into thin sections for microscopic examination?

• Spectrophotometer

• Centrifuge

• Microtome

• Incubator

What is the primary purpose of using a microtome in histology?

• To observe living cells

• To cut tissues into thin sections

• To stain tissue samples

• To measure cell dimensions

What is the purpose of using staining techniques in histology?

• To measure the size of cells

• To analyze the chemical composition of tissues

• To enhance contrast between different tissue components

• To preserve tissue samples

What does the term 'basophilic' refer to in histology?

• Tissues that stain with basic dyes

• Tissues that stain with acidic dyes

• Tissues that are only found in living organisms

• Tissues that do not take any dye

What is the role of Haematoxylin in histological staining?

• It stains the nucleus and basophilic components blue.

• It is used for living cell staining.

• It stains the cytoplasm red.

• It is a method for tissue sectioning.

What is the significance of using supra vital staining techniques?

• They help identify living cells and their characteristics.

• They allow for the observation of dead cells.

• They are used exclusively for tissue sectioning.

• They are not applicable in histological studies.

In intravital staining, how are dyes introduced into the body?

• Through injection under the skin or into a vein

• By soaking the tissue in dye solutions

• By adding them to the food of the organism

• By direct application on tissue samples

Which of the following is NOT a method used in histological studies?

• Fluorescence microscopy

• Tissue culture

• Cellular respiration

• Micro-incineration
