Study Notes

Histopathology Overview

Histopathology compares normal tissues against abnormal tissues to identify abnormalities.
Abnormal tissues are examined in relation to other abnormal samples from the same area to find common features.

Importance of Proper Preparation

Correct preparation of tissue samples is crucial to avoid misleading results.
Tissues must be preserved in their original state post-removal from the body to maintain accuracy in analysis.
Every handling stage in histopathological preparation needs to be reproducible to ensure consistent outcomes.

Challenges Post-Removal of Tissues

Autolysis occurs after tissue removal or death, which is the self-digestion of tissues due to enzymatic activity.
This natural process complicates the preservation and analysis of tissue specimens, emphasizing the need for immediate and proper fixation techniques.
