Staining

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Formed as a result of chemical action - fixation, processing, usually on tissue, not w/i cell, e.g. formalin, mercury, chrome pigments  
🗑
show From outside the body, carbon pigment, asbestos fibers, tattoo pigments, metals - normal (iron) or pathologic (copper)  
🗑
show Seen in lung & lymph node, resists bleaching & extration, insol. in conc'd sulfuric acid - use to differentiate  
🗑
Asbestos fibers   show
🗑
show From blood, e.g. hemoglobin, hemosiderin, biliverdin  
🗑
Hemoglobin   show
🗑
show Yellow to brown pigment, stored iron (Fe2+), usu. in marrow, pathologic elsewhere (liver), differentiate from other yellow-brown pigments w/ Prussian blue rxn  
🗑

🗑
show Greenish bile pigment, prod'd from destruction of rbc, liver red. to bilirubin - remove from circulation, abnormal accumulation - jaundice, pigment in bile canaliculi, cytoplasm of Kupffer cells & hepatocytes  
🗑

What stains for lipofuscin & ceroid pigments?   show
🗑
show Urate crytals (gouty tophi), chronic gout may deposit in soft tissue too, sol. in water, alcoholic fix., birefringent w/ polarizing, demo w/ argentaffin rxn  
🗑
show Special stains can demo: Ca2+, Fe2+/Fe3+, Cu2+, PO43+, CO32+, silver, lead, copper, gold, microincineration can be used to ID inorganic components  
🗑
show Adrenal chromaffin granules, pancreatic endocrine cells, GI enterochromaffin cells, "C" cells of thyroid, some pituitary cells, are APUD cells demo w/ argyrophil or argentaffin rxns, fixative v. important
