carbohydrate & amyloid

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

Term
Definition
Carbohydrates Group I   contain glucose-glycogen cellulose starch N-acetyl-glucosamine-chitin neutral polysaccharides nonionic homoglycans (+) PAS (-) alcian blue, colloidal iron, mucicarmine  
🗑
Carbohydrate Group II   Acid mucopolysaccharides (anionic heteroglycans) all are acidic (-) pas (+) ALCIAN BLUE, COLLOIDAL IRON, MUCICARMINE  
🗑
Carbohydrates Group III   Glycoproteins mucins, mucoid, mucoprotein, mucosubstances mostly epithelial mucins some may occur in connective tissue some/most PAS (+)  
🗑
Carbohydrates Group IV   glycolipids cerebrosides-fatty residue bound to carbohydrate structure phosphatides- PAS positive, non carb containing lipids  
🗑
PAS   demonstrates polysaccharides, neutral mucosubstances, & basement membranes most common reactive group is 1 &2 periodic acid oxidizes to aldehydes basic fuchsin is treated w/ sulfurous acid to make Schiff reagent metabisulfate removes excess schiff  
🗑
PAS w/ diastase   demonstrates glycogen  
🗑
Best Carmine   demonstrates glycogen  
🗑
Mayer Mucicarmine   demonstrates "epithelial" mucin stains carboxylated and sulfated mucins does not stain neutral mucosubstances combine with alcian blue-PAS to establish presence or absence of mucin more certainly  
🗑
Mayer Mucicarmine   Mucin & Cryptococcus.........ROSE Nuclie....................................BLACK Other tissue..........................BLUE OR YELLOW  
🗑
Alcian Blue pH 2.5   demonstrates acid mucopolysaccharides acetic acid  
🗑
Alcian Blue pH 1.0   demonstrates sulfated mucosubstances hydrochloric acid  
🗑
Alcian Blue w/ Hyaluronidase   differentiate between epithelial and connective mucins  
🗑
Alcian Blue- PAS- Hematoxylin   stains acid mucosubstances and neutral polysaccharides  
🗑
Alcian Blue- PAS- Hematoxylin   acid mucosubstances.......BLUE neutral polysaccharides......MAGENTA substances stained with both.....PURPLE  
🗑
Muller- Mowry Colloidal Iron   demonstrates carboxylated & sulfated mucopolysaccharides & glycoproteins  
🗑
Amyloid   1-2% carbohydrate chondroitin, heparin, & dermatan sulfates  
🗑
Amyloidosis   amorphous eosinphilic extracellular deposit that gradually replaces cellular elements of vital organs  
🗑
Primary Amyloid   happens spontaneously usually in heart, muscle, skin, and tongue  
🗑
Secondary Amyloid   comes from predisposing disease commonly found in kidney, liver, spleen, and adrenal glands  
🗑
Myeloma-associated Amyloid   diseases of immune system  
🗑
Tumor Associated Amyloid   associated with many tumors  
🗑
Alkaline Congo Red Method   demonstrates amyloid tissue cut at 8-10 microns examined with polarized light Harris hematoxyline, alkaline salt solution, congo red  
🗑
Alkaline Congo Red Method   Amyloid...............DEEP PINK Elastic tissue........PALE PINK Nuclei...................BLUE  
🗑
Crystal Violet   used for rapid screening of amyloid amyloid with appear purplish violet and other tissue will be blue  
🗑
Thioflavin T Fluorescent Method   used to demonstrate amyloid but is not as specific as congo red amyloid with fluoresce to yellow to yellow-green.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
