This tissue processing involves the removal of alcohol from the specimen making way for an easy incorporation of the embedding material that will follow:

This is a process of preserving the tissue specimen from decay and is considered to be the most influential factor in the outcome of the entire process:

These specimen tissue section are often used for "special staining" methods in the laboratory setting.

Dehydration of tissues often use this particular sequence of either ethanol or isopropyl alcohol in the process:

These are substances that will make the microtome sections of the specimen stick to the slides for staining.

This method that is widely employed for sectioning tissues.

Formalin is a solution containing...

The process by which water molecules are removed from the tissue to enable penetration of the embedding material into their space is called...

Formalin is a solution containing...

Normal fixation takes place in three(3) steps: (choose the corrrect order)

I. Methylene glycol quickly penetrates the tissue.

II. Specimen surrounded by fixatives.

III. Formaldehyde binds very slowly to the proteins in the tissue by cross linking.

IV. Some methylene glycol is slowly converted to formaldehyde by dehydration.

Is a process of cutting serial sections of paraffin-embedded blocks with a tissue microtome.

The method of obtaining continuous ribbons from a paraffin block and placing sequential sections on successive slides.

The Stain that is usually used in paraffin embedded specimen is the...
