definición de taco


Explanation:
Hola Sandra:

No se cómo se dice en inglés, pero encontré lo que significa en español. Aparentemente no es una abreviatura.

Debido al calor, el xilol o el benzol se evaporan y losespacios anteriormente ocupados por ellos son ahora ocupados por la parafina.Después se coloca la pieza y un poco de parafina fundida en un molde de papel ometal de forma rectangular y se deja solidificar a temperatura ambiente, formándoseun bloque sólido de parafina con el trozo de tejido incluido, a este bloque sele denomina ***Taco***.

agree  Samuel Sebastian Holden Bramah: I would probably go with Biopsy Sample or something like that, it just means the "piece" or "cut" of tissue sent in.

disagree  Samuel Sebastian Holden Bramah: Not in this context, here it is referring literally to a "bit" or "chunk", as in the tissue sent in from surgery as a biopsy
