Question

List five (5) factors affecting fixation of the cells in a physical and chemical state

Expert Solution

Step 1

Fixation:

Fixation is a procedure in which cells or tissue are fixed partially in a chemical and partially in a physical condition so they can withstand further treatment with different reagents with the least amount of loss, distortion, or decomposition.

Fixatives function by precipitating or denaturing proteins, which then cross-link to form a meshwork. Insoluble proteins give the meshwork mechanical strength for following operations, and it tends to hold the other cell constituents in vivo in relation to one another.
