    Study Notes

    • Cellular injury can be caused by various physical and chemical agents, leading to disruption of membranes, metabolic interference, and potentially reversible damage or cell death.
    • Necrosis is a pathological term for areas of dead cells within a tissue or organ, resulting from accidental cell death. Apoptosis, on the other hand, is a programmed cell death process that regulates cell populations.
    • Fixation is the process of preserving cells and tissues, preventing post-mortem changes such as ischemia, autolysis, and putrefaction.
    • Temperature, size of specimen, volume, pH and buffers, osmolarity, concentration, and duration are factors that influence the rate and quality of fixation.
    • Fixatives, which are largely irreversible, help stabilize proteins, prevent autolysis, and prevent bacterial decomposition, allowing for further preparative procedures.
    • Fixatives can be coagulative/precipitant, which denature proteins and make them insoluble, or non-coagulant cross-linking, which form bridges between proteins and nucleic acids.
    • Commonly used fixatives include formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and alcohol. Aldehyde groups in these fixatives react with specific amino acids in proteins, forming stable cross-links.
    • Coagulative fixatives maintain tissue histomorphology at the light microscopy level but result in poor preservation of mitochondria and secretory granules, making them less useful for ultrastructural analysis.
    • Non-coagulant cross-linking fixatives are useful for ultrastructural analysis as they preserve tissue architecture without causing cytoplasmic flocculation.
    • All fixatives are hazardous and require careful handling to ensure safety.
