36 Questions
What does the term 'histology' mean?
Study of tissues under a microscope
Why is studying the normal structure and function of tissues important?
To better understand the changes that occur during disease
Who was the first person to observe cells?

What is the main purpose of studying histology?
To correlate microscopic appearance with function in health and disease
Which branch of science involves prerequisites like Histology, Anatomy, and Pathology?
Pre-clinical Sciences
How is histology different from gross anatomy?
Histology involves studying cells under a microscope, while gross anatomy studies organs without magnification
What is the purpose of a biopsy?
To examine tissue taken from a living body
Which of the following is a basic sample preparation technique prior to histological analysis?
Fixing
In which level of organization would one study the microscopic details of tissues of different organs/organ systems?
General Histology
What does autopsy involve?
Examination of post-mortem tissue
Which technique involves dehydrating, clearing, and infiltrating tissue samples?
Processing
What type of examination is necropsy associated with?
Examination of tissue taken from a dead animal
What is the purpose of a bone marrow biopsy?
To detect ALK positive cells
In the context of cancer gene testing, which technique is specifically mentioned for detecting ALK positive cells?
Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)
In breast cancer gene testing, what is the specific gene mentioned for testing?
HER2
What does an IHC Score 0 indicate in the context of staining intensity?
No staining
In CML, what translocation is characteristic of the disease?
Translocation t(9;22)
What is the purpose of a blood smear or peripheral blood film in laboratory work?
To expose the morphology of peripheral blood cells
Robert Hooke was the first person to discover tissues.
False
Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of organs.
False
Understanding the normal structure and function of tissues is not important in interpreting disease changes.
False
Autopsy is commonly performed to study the microscopic details of tissues.
False
Correlating microscopic appearance with function is not relevant in health and disease.
False
The cell theory was proposed by Rudolf Virchow.
False
Autopsy involves examining post-mortem tissue.
True
Biopsy is an examination of tissue taken from a living body.
True
Necropsy is associated with the examination of tissue from dead animals.
True
Histological examination of tissues starts with necropsy in the case of animal tissues.
False
Studying histology involves the microscopic study of the 4 basic tissues.
True
Systemic Histology involves the microscopic study of the tissues of different organs and organ systems.
True
A bone marrow biopsy allows evaluation of the marrow's overall cellularity and detection of focal lesions only.
False

False
Necropsy involves the examination of tissues under a microscope to study their microscopic details.
False
The study of histology plays a fundamental role in understanding the correlation between microscopic appearance and function of tissues.
True
