Fix: most cmon

Best fix

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

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

Refers to cell that have been removed

Fix Sputum

Fix gastric or bronchial secretions, smears of urine sediment

Saccomanos fixative composition

Saccomanoa fixative serves as

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

Specimens need for adhesion

Adhesive for paps smear

Adhesive used for bacterial culture

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

Main stains of paps smear

Stains nuclear

Stains the mature cytoplasm and superficial cells

Stain for immature cells like the intermediate and parabasal cell

Where do vaginal smear are taken

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

Polyhedral or elongated cells with basophilic cytoplasm

boat shapes (folding or curling in the intermediate cell)

Round to oval cells with small dense basophilic cytoplasm

Superficial cells are influenced by

Intermediate cell are influenced by

This cell is characterized by absence of estrogen and progesterone

This cell is Found during and after 10 days of menstruation

Parabasal and endometrial have this similar characteristics

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

Endocervical glandular cell have this appearance

Small, large nuclei, strongly basophilic cell

Parabasal cell are usually found on

Basal cells are found on

This is also known as strawberry cervix

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

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

Clearing agent

Differentiator

Blueing agent
