Main stains of paps smear

Small, large nuclei, strongly basophilic cell

C. Superficial cells

Trichomonas

If fluid specimen is enough for cytocentrifugation, what is the setting of centrifuge

Stains nuclear

Branch of general biology the study cells desquamated from the epithelial surface

This are Columnar, Round to oval cells with small dense basophilic cytoplam usually stained pale blue/gray

This cell is characterized by absence of estrogen and progesterone

Saccomanoa fixative serves as

Parabasal and endometrial have this similar characteristics

Fix gastric or bronchial secretions, smears of urine sediment

Eosinophil

Polyhedral or elongated cells with basophilic cytoplasm

Adhesive used for bacterial culture

Endocervical glandular cell have this appearance

Fix: most cmon

Polygonal squamous cells with pale, pink staining cytoplasm and dark pyknotic nuclei

Estrogen increases

Progesterone increase

C. RBC.

Clearing agent

Blueing agent

Stain for immature cells like the intermediate and parabasal cell

Adhesive for paps smear

Epithelial cells that show cytophatic effects of HPV which are atypical, wrinkled prune with perinuclear halo

C. Nuclei

Round to oval cells with small dense basophilic cytoplasm

Tgese can be found on DM patients, antibiotics and immunocompromised states

Saccomanos fixative composition

Specimens need for adhesion

Refers to cell that have been removed

Where do vaginal smear are taken

This adhesives cannot be used to paps smear due to EA 50 counterstain

Fix Sputum

Menopausal decrease

Stains the mature cytoplasm and superficial cells

Fix effusion, peritoneal, pleural flui, csf, vaginal, prostatic and breast

Candida fungus

Superficial cells are influenced by

Best fix

C. Cytoplasm

Differentiator

Basal cells are found on

Intermediate cell are influenced by

Intermediate and Parabasal cell

Parabasal cell are usually found on

C. Acidophilic cells

C. Basophilic cell

boat shapes (folding or curling in the intermediate cell)

This cell is Found during and after 10 days of menstruation

This is also known as strawberry cervix

Metaplastic cell
