OBTENÇÃO DE LÂMINAS HISTOLÓGICAS PARA ESTUDO CIENTÍFICO

Abstract

Histology is the science that studies cells in the context of tissue structure and their interrelation with the constituents of the extracellular matrix. The histotechnology provides an understanding of the technical foundations for the analysis of the elements tissue, normal or pathological, that is, its cells and matrix elements extracellular analysis, including several histochemical techniques. The technical procedures applied in histotechnology include cytochemical, histochemical, immunohistochemical techniques, aimed at scientific research and pathological diagnosis, in addition to of analyzes at the level of electronic microscopy (JUNQUEIRA; CARNEIRO, 2017). In this chapter, considerations will only be made on the histological techniques focused on histochemical and immunohistochemical analysis of tissues.
