Answers can be found at the end of each section, along with an explanation for every answer.
---SAMPLE QUESTIONS--- 1) SPECIMEN COLLECTIONWhat is the term for the time between tissue excision and placement of the tissue in fixative?
a. Autolysis transit time
b. Clearing time
c. Cold ischemia time
d. Latency time Answer: c. Cold ischemia time
Explanation: Cold ischemia time begins the moment the tissue is surgically excised from the body and ends when it is placed into a chemical fixative. 2) PREPARATION AND TESTING
How many mL of 100% formalin are needed to make 1,000 mL of 10% formalin?
a. 10 mL
b. 100 mL
c. 1,000 mL
d. 10,000 mL Answer: b. 100 mL
Explanation: Substituting the values into the dilution formula:
c1 × v1 = c2 × v2
100 × v1 = 10 × 1,000
100 × v1 = 10,000
v1 = 10,000/100
v1 = 100 mL
Therefore, 100 mL of 100% formalin must be diluted with 900 mL of water to make 1,000 mL of 10% formalin. 3) EVALUATION AND INTERPRETATION
What are the most common cells in connective tissue?
a. Chondrocytes
b. Fibroblasts
c. Macrophages
d. Mast cells Answer: b. Fibroblasts
Explanation: The most common cells in connective tissue are fibroblasts. They make the components that form fibres (notably collagen and elastin). 4) REPORTING AND COMMUNICATION
A clinician calls the laboratory asking when a biopsy result will be ready. What is the best response?
a. Give an estimated turnaround time if available
b. Promise the result will be ready soon
c. Refuse to give any information
d. State that results can only be given to the patient Answer: a. Give an estimated turnaround time if available
Explanation: You should give a turnaround time, if possible, based on how long you think the result will take. This will give the clinician an idea of when the result will be ready. 5) EQUIPMENT AND RESOURCES
Paraffin sections are thick on one side and thin on the other. Which piece of equipment is most likely responsible?
a. Embedding centre
b. Microtome
c. Tissue processor
d. Water bath Answer: b. Microtome
Explanation: When sections are uneven, the problem is usually that the blade of the microtome is not seated evenly. This can produce uneven sections (sections that are thicker on one side and thinner on the other).
