Frage 1

Frage
Define Histopathology
Antworten
  • the study of changes in tissues caused by disease.
  • the study of changes in cells caused by disease.

Frage 2

Frage
Select Three hazards associated with working in a Histopathology laboratory.
Antworten
  • - Chemical: fixatives, stains, chemicals
  • – Biological: cross infection
  • – Physical: sharps, radiation
  • - Safety: slips, trips, falls

Frage 3

Frage
Explain what a fixative does
Antworten
  • preservation of tissue specimen
  • decontaminates all viruses associated with the tissue specimen

Frage 4

Frage
List Six features of an ideal fixative
Antworten
  • • Will not swell or shrink tissue
  • • Is economical
  • • Has convenient shelf life and storage
  • • Will be safe for user and environment
  • • Will preserve tissue in life like manner
  • • Will not add artefact material to tissue
  • • Will add artefact material to tissue

Frage 5

Frage
Select Three fixative/s that can be used for Cytology smears?
Antworten
  • Spray fixed with aerosol of propanol and acetone+ Poly ethylene glycol- a water soluble wax
  • Methanol
  • Ethanol
  • Xylene
  • Sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate 4g

Frage 6

Frage
Select Three physical agents that can be used to assist in the fixation of tissues.
Antworten
  • Microwave
  • Heat
  • Ultrasound
  • Freeze

Frage 7

Frage
True or false: autolysis represents the changes to tissue that occur before fixation due to bacterial contamination.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 8

Frage
What type of fixative is Neutral Buffered Formalin classed as?
Antworten
  • Universal fixative
  • Fixative used for specific purposes

Frage 9

Frage
Why is Formalin Buffered to a neutral pH?
Antworten
  • because the further a fixative is from the pH of body tissues the more distortion you can get in the tissue at the cellular level.
  • because the further a fixative is from the pH of body tissues the less distortion you can get in the tissue at the cellular level.

Frage 10

Frage
What is the function of xylene in tissue processing?
Antworten
  • To cut sections, the tissue has to be embedded in paraffin wax, but wax is not soluble in water or alcohol. However, it is soluble in a paraffin solvent called 'xylene'.
  • Cleaning up the lab station to prevent contamination of other specimens and users of the facilities

Frage 11

Frage
Why is the histological section cut to approximately 5µm thick?
Antworten
  • - Sample needs to be thin enough for light microscopy (about 1 cell layer thick) - makes it easier to evaluate tissue and look at its morphology
  • - Provides enough thickness to account for cell to cell ratio

Frage 12

Frage
List method/s used for the collection of Cytology samples.
Antworten
  • - Pap Smears, Endoscopy samples, some FNA (fine needle aspiration) specimens
  • - Blood test, saliva test, sputum collection

Frage 13

Frage
Give an example of a Chemical Fixative that belongs to Aldehydes
Antworten
  • - Formaldehyde, Glutaraldehyde
  • - Ethanol, Methanol

Frage 14

Frage
Give an example of a Chemical Fixative that belongs to Oxidising agents
Antworten
  • - Osmium tetroxide, Potassium Dichromate
  • - Ethanol, Methanol

Frage 15

Frage
Give an example of a Chemical Fixative that belongs to Protein coagulants
Antworten
  • - Ethanol, Methanol
  • - Mercuric Chloride, Picric acid

Frage 16

Frage
Give an example of a Chemical Fixative that belongs to Uncertain mechanism
Antworten
  • - Mercuric Chloride, Picric acid
  • - Ethanol, Methanol
