- Describe the hierarchical arrangement of the structure of the human body.
- Describe the basic steps involved in preparing biological tissues for microscopic examination.
A. Explain the importance of different methods of fixation, such as freezing and aldehyde fixation.
B. Explain the importance of different embedding techniques.
C. Explain the importance of sectioning biological tissues.
D. Explain the necessity of using specific stains to study biological tissues. - Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of preparing biological tissues for sectioning using a standard microtome and cryostat.
