| Name four ways of collecting your sample | swab, scraping, imprint, fine needle biopsy(aspiration & non-aspiration), tissue biopsy |
| what type of smear preparations could you do | compression, modified compression, line smear |
| what type of stain would you use | Romanowsky(Diff-quick), new methylene blue |
| what are you looking for when doing a cytology | abnormal cells in tissue |
| define anisokaryosis | variation in size of nuclei in cells |
| define pleomorphisim | ability to altar shape or size in response to environmental conditions |
| define multinucleation | cells that have more than one nucleus |
| what equipment would you need for a urinalysis | gloves, sample, centrifuge tube, rack, pipette 6ml, bio-chemistry strip, timer, refractometer, slide, cover slip, NMB stain, microscope |
| what does the refractometer measure | urine specific gravity |
| What are things you are looking for with your cytology sample | inflammation (large # of neutrophils), fungal and parasitic infections(increased # of macrophages and eosinophils), Neoplasia (populations of a single cell type), malignancy (abnormal neuclear configurations. |
| what would you see if you found a large number of neutrophils in your microscopic examination of cell sample | inflamation |
| what would you see if you found an increased number of macrophages and eosinophils in your cell sample | fungal and/or parasitic infection |
| what would it be called if you found a large population of a single cell type in your cell sample | neoplasia |
| if you were to see abnormal nuclear configurations that would be called | malignancy |
