27
The cell consists of ... | 2 things
Cytoplasm | Nucleus
28
cytoplasm consists of.... | 4
Cytosol Organelles Cytoskeleton Inclusions
29
Organelles are.... while inclusions are.... | Living, non living
Living | Non living
30
Which is essential: organelles or inclusions?
Organelles
31
Inclusions function
Store Material or waste
32
Organelles are ......while inclusions are ....... | Inert, active
Active | Inert
33
(Organelles/ inclusions) are in all nucleated cells
Organelles
34
(Inclusions/organelles) are temporary
Inclusions
35
Cell organelles are divided to .. | 2
Membranous | Non membranous
36
Membranous organelles are: | 8
``` Cell membrane Mitochondria Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi complex Lysosomes Secretory vesicles Peroxisomes Coated vesicles Endosomes ```
37
None membranous vesicles are: | 3
``` Ribosomes Filaments Microtubules Centrioles Glycogen inclusions (Radio F M ) ```
38
Tissue preparation stages | 7
``` Fixation Dehydration Clearing Embedding Cutting Mounting Staining ```
39
Fixation substances: | 4
``` Buffered formal saline 10% formalin Suza, boudin, zenkar solution Formaldehyde or Glutraldhyde Osmium tetraoxide- potassium permanganate ```
40
Dehydration: | Definition
Gradual removal of water from the tissue using ascending grads of ethyl alcohol to prevent tissue shrinking
41
Clearing
Replacement of alcohol in tissue by clearing fluid like xylem, benzene, or acetone.
42
Embedding | 2
Tissues are impregnated in paraffin | Tissues are impregnated in epon in gelatine capsule
43
Cutting
Paraffin blocks are cut
44
Paraffin blocks are cut by microtome using..... | knives into ...
Metal | 6 micrometers sections
45
Capsules are cut by ultra microtones using..... knives into ....
``` Glass, diamonds Ultra thin ( 50-100nm) ```
46
Mounting: sections spread on ? | 2
Hot plate then mounted on glass slides | Metal grids
47
Staining by heavy metals such as:
Uranyl acetate | Lead nitrate
48
Staining
Special dyes stain histological sections and | make them ready for microscopic examination.
49
Stains are : 3 With examples
Acidic (eosin) Basic (heamatoxylin) Neutral (leishman stain)
50
Physical stains:
Stain dissolve in tissues without any chemical reaction | Eg: Sudan 3 for fatty acids
51
Vital stain
Staining living tissue inside the body | Eg: trypan blue stain
52
Supra-vital stain
Staining living tissues outside the body | Eg: brilliant cresyl blue
53
Metachromatic stain
Staining tissues with a color different from the original color stain. Eg: toluidin blue staining for mast cells.
54
Polychromatic stain
Staining the tissue with multiple colors despite using one stain. Eg: geimsa stain for blood.
55
Orthochromatic stain:
Staining the tissue with the same color of the stain | Eg: H&E
56
Histo-chemical stains
Histochemistry or cytochemistry | Eg: phosphates, dehydrogenase, peroxidase
57
Histochemistry or cytochemistry
Method for localizing cellular structures using a specific enzymatic activity present in those structures
58
Immuno-histo-chemical stain
Localization and staining specific proteins by the antigen antibody reaction.
59
ISH
In situ hybridization | Nucleic acid sequences in solutions are applied directly to prepared cells.
60
Hybridization
the binding between two single strands of nucleic acids if strands are complementary
61
Hybridization allows
Specific identification of sequences in genes or RNA
62
The greater the...... the more readily the complementary strands form hybrid
Similarities of the nucleotide.
63
ISH is ideal for:
(1) determining if a cell has a specific sequence of DNA (such as a gene or part of a gene) (2) identifying the cells containing specific mRNAs. (3) determining the localization of a gene in a specific chromosome.
