UND 363 PASD

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
what does PASD demonstrate   Glycogen  
🗑
What is the principle behind PASD   Diastase (an enzyme) depolymerizes glycogen into small sugars that are washed out. After glycogen digestion the sections are stained with PAS  
🗑
What two things can be used to digest the glycogen   diastase and human saliva  
🗑
what fixatives are used for PASD   10 NBF, formalin alcohol, and absolute alcohol  
🗑
what fixatives are least desirable for pasd   picric acid, gluteraldehyde, and osmium tetroxide (they make tissue more resistant to diastase digestion therfore increasing time)  
🗑
what is the proper microscope for pasd   light  
🗑
what is the preferred thichness   2 slides with 2 identical sections @ 4-5 microns (liver) one labeled with (digestion) and one W/O  
🗑
what are good controls for pasd   liver and cervix (endo and ecto cervix) the ecto contains squamous epithelium and the endo has glandular epithelium  
🗑
what will the 2 epitheliums of cervix stain with the pasd reaction   glandular (endo) will stain positive with schiff, while diastase will remove glycogen from squamous (ecto) therefore negative  
🗑
what are the major reagents for pasd (6)   malt diastase, periodic acid, schiff, metabisulfate, running water, harris hematox  
🗑
what is the purpose of the malt diastase in pasd   it is for glycogen digestion *contains alpha and beta enzyme*  
🗑
what are some problems with malt diastase in pasd   tends to loosen sections and doesn't alway complete glycogen digestion  
🗑
what are some possible errors when working with malt diastase   if heat beyond 40○C the digestion will cease, but if not enough heat the enzymes will not work well  
🗑
based on PAS what does the P.A., Schiff, metabisulfate, water and harris do   P.A. oxidises glycols to aldehydes, schiff combines with aldehydes, metabisulfate removes excess schiff, water restors schiff color, harris is used for counterstain  
🗑
