In the book by Bruce-Gregorios, there are 3 main categories of hazards that have been identified. These hazards involve a probability of the risk or danger to be happened inside the histo-tech laboratory. These are: chemical, physical, or biological hazard.
For Chemical hazards:
– Both during usage and with improper storage, there is a risk of exposure to chemical hazards such as cleaners and disinfectants, medications, anesthetic gases, solvents, paints, and compressed gases. If chemicals are handled improperly or misused, there could be serious consequences.For Physical hazards:
– Slips, trips, and falls from working in damp conditions, as well as ergonomic risks from lifting, pushing, pulling, and repetitive jobs, pose the most visible physical risks. Electrical, mechanical, acoustic, or thermal dangers are additional physical risks that go unrecognized frequently. Neglecting these could have detrimental effects.Under the Physical hazard where Electrical hazards can be found:
– Workers may encounter electrical dangers in the lab, such as electric shock, electrocution, arc blasts, fires, and explosions. Electrical instruments, wiring, receptacles, and connector damage are some of the potential sources of electrical hazard exposures, as are unsafe work procedures.Lastly, Biological hazards:
– Medical technologists frequently confront biological dangers in laboratories as a result of specimens like blood that are to be evaluated.To add, I have found an online video regarding safety in the laboratory. With this simple video, we can be aware and prevent ourselves from laboratory accidents.

Good day! Here are my 10 Histology Art Illustrations ~
Good day to all! I would like to share to all of you this article that I found, where it focuses in the Heart, as this organ is part of the Circulatory System. This article talks about the Direct Integration of Histology With Electrophysiological and Imaging Data of the Heart.
This is a method for high-accuracy histological validation of both electrophysiological and imaging data that is simple to use and adapt to diverse situations and modalities.
A side-by-side technique is typically used when histological validation is undertaken, resulting in a substantial margin of error. The deformation and shrinkage/contraction of the heart, which occurs as soon as the chambers are drained of blood, is a crucial aspect that makes fair comparisons of different modalities.
This strategy is straightforward to implement and adapt to diverse situations. Filling the chambers preserves cardiac dimension, and using landmarks to integrate 3-dimensional structures eliminates the large registration error that can occur when comparing arbitrary slices side by side. Numerous histological methods, including multiple (immunofluorescent) stainings and 3-dimensional microscopic reconstructions, can be used because this process produces no pathological waste.

1. Small Intestine – The small intestine has a mucosa with simple columnar epithelium, submucosa, smooth muscle with inner circular and outer longitudinal layers, and serosa, similar to the rest of the digestive tract. In terms of function, the small intestine is primarily responsible for nutritional digestion and absorption. Through the hepatopancreatic duct, it receives pancreatic secretions and bile, which help it perform its tasks.
2. Pancreas – Exocrine acini ducts and endocrine islets of Langerhans are two forms of parenchymal tissue found in the pancreas. The pancreas has two primary functions: exocrine and endocrine. Exocrine function: produces chemicals (enzymes) that aid digesting. Endocrine function: releases hormones that regulate the quantity of sugar in your blood.
3. Duodenum – The duodenum is a crucial organ in the digestive system, as it is the first and shortest segment of the small intestine. It is roughly 25 to 30 cm long (“twelve fingers’ length”), C-shaped, and positioned in the upper abdomen at the level of L1-L3. The pancreatic head is located in the C loop. It can be separated into four sections: the superior, descending, horizontal, and ascending parts. The mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis of the duodenum are histologically comparable to those of the other hollow organs of the gastrointestinal system. Absorbing enterocytes, mucus-producing goblet cells, and peptide hormone-producing endocrine cells abound throughout the duodenum.
