en CR CROSSWORD 30 AUTOLYSIS : Postmortem decomposition is also called _______. HYPOTONIC : This solution allows the cells in the tissue to swell. MORDANTS : Fixatives acts as _______ or accentuators to promote and hasten staining. MICROANATOMICAL : According to action, this fixative permits the general microscopic study of tissue structures. FORMALIN : Other term for formaldehyde. GENDRE : _______'s fixative is also known as alcoholic formalin fixative. GLUTARALDEHYDE : Fixative that acts in a manner similar to formaldehyde and is sometimes utilized for routine light microscopic work. GLYCOGEN : Picric acid preserves _______ well. ALCOHOL : It rapidly denatures and precipitates proteins. ACETONE : This fixative evaporates rapidly and dissolves fat. ALCOHOL : Most commonly used dehydrating agent. ACETONE : Dehydrating agent that acts as fixative also. ETHANOL : Recommended for routine dehydration of tissues. DIOXANE : This is an excellent dehydrating and clearing agent readily miscible in water, melted paraffin, alcohol and xylol. CELLOSOLVE : Also known as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether TETRAHYDROFURAN : Acts as dehydrating and clearing agent and toxic if ingested or inhaled. CLEARING : Removal of alcohol from tissue and replaced with a substance that will dissolve the wax with which the tissue is to impregnated. GLYCERIN : Aside from gum syrup, give another example which is also used when tissue is to be cleared directly from water, as in a frozen section. FLAMMABLE : Most clearing agents are _______ fluids. XYLENE : Most commonly used clearing agent. XYLOL : Other term for xylene. MILKY : Xylene becomes ________ when an incompletely dehydrated tissue is immersed in it. BENZENE : Regarded as the best clearing agent in the embedding process. CHLOROFORM : Tissues tend to float in this clearing agent. CEDARWOOD : _________ oil that is recommended for CNS tissues and cytological studies. TOLUENE : Can be used as a substitute for benzene and xylene in clearing during embedding and mounting process. SOLUBLE : Glycogen is ________ in water. FROZEN : This tissue section may lead to formation of ice crystal artifacts. AGITATION : Fixation is accelerated when automatic/mechanical tissue processor is used. HEAT : This fixation involves thermal coagulation of tissue proteins.
