should be placed in:
A. Saline
B. Michel solution
C. Buffered formalin

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 - correct 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 - correct answer
Addition, or binding of the fixative to tissue proteins

phosphate buffer solution. If a portion of this tissue is processed for light microscopy, sections would
most likely show:
A. Very poor glomerular preservation
B. Decreased uptake of hematoxylin
C. Lysis of cytoplasmic elements
D. Nonspecific PAS staining - correct answer Nonspecific PAS staining
Uric acid crystals are preserved ONLY when tissue is fixed in:
A. Absolute alcohol
B. NBF
C. Orth solution
, D. Zamboni solution - correct answer Absolute alcohol

A. A delay in fixation
B. A rapid penetration of the fixing fluid
C. Prolonged storage following formalin fixation
D. Rapid dehydration, clearing, embedding, and sectioning - correct answer A
delay in fixation
