You have been learning about histotechnology and why certain protocols are performed in a certain time frame and order. On a given day in the histology
laboratory, your work includes several tissue specimens of varying sizes. One of the tissues that has been received is a breast biopsy for cancer that has
been inked. Contemplate the different considerations for these specimens when going about your work.
Assignment
Create a post in response to the situation described above. Your post should address the following:
Do we use the same procedure for grossing, fixing, and processing tissues of varying types, sizes, and components? Identify at least two specific examples
and considerations.
Why is the breast tissue inked? How does this affect processing steps for this specimen?
In addition to these questions, search the internet for scholarly resources or procedure manuals at your place of employment. Use these sources and
procedures to support your answers to the questions. Also, provide the theory and rationale behind your answers and specific considerations for grossing,
fixing, and processing tissues with different characteristics. Be sure to provide APA citations for ALL sources you consulted.
