should be placed in:
A. Saline
B. Michel solution
C. Buffered formalin
D. Orth solution - ANSWER Michel solution

fixative that could be used is:
A. Zenker solution
B. Bouin solution
C. Gendre solution
D. Hollande solution - ANSWER Hollande solution
When the microwave oven is used for fixation, the most critical factor is the:
A. Preparation of the formalin solution
B. Use of glass containers
C. Control of the temperature
D. Osmolality of the fixative solution - ANSWER Control of the temperature

A specimen is submitted with the statement that it was fixed in formalin. Microscopic sections show
marked lysis of erythrocytes. This indicates that the fixative most likely was:

B. Buffered above neutrality
C. Acidified with acetic acid
D. Not formalin - ANSWER Acidified with acetic acid
Fixatives are classified as additive because of the:
A. Addition of several chemicals to the solution
B. Addition, or binding of the fixative to tissue proteins
C. Additional reactions occurring with longer fixation
D. Additional reactive tissue sites available for dye binding - ANSWER Addition, or binding of the fixative
to tissue proteins

B. A rapid penetration of the fixing fluid
C. Prolonged storage following formalin fixation
D. Rapid dehydration, clearing, embedding, and sectioning - ANSWER A delay in fixation
A good fixative will:
A. Render cell constituents soluble
B. Minimize differences in tissue refractive indices
