  1. 5. hemosiderin appears on body fluid stains as heavy __________ pigmentation
  2. 6. nucleated RBCS and precursors and WBCs in varying developmental stages can be found in this kind of CSF contamination caused by a traumatic tap
  3. 8. cells undergoing __________ division are not usually seen in body fluids and may be an should be noted as abnormal
  4. 11. tumor balls seen in fluids are often very __________ in shape, and stain dark blue, often with no distinguishing between the individual cells in the clump
  5. 15. centrifuged __________ are often large, very round, and have fine chromatin patterns with nucleoli and a high nucleus to cytoplasm ratio
  6. 16. a monophage containing hemosiderin particles
  7. 19. as the name suggests, synovial __________ cells are only found in synovial pockets; they resemble mesothelial cells and do not typically indicate much of anything
  8. 20. in cytocentrifuged eos and basos, the cell's __________ may spin down to one side
  9. 22. nucleated cell count should be done __________ cytocentrifuging a slide
  10. 25. centrifugation can expose these nuclear structures on cells where they are not normally visible, but this does not make them abnormal or blasts
  11. 26. buildup of this black-green pigment may be seen very rarely in the body fluids of patients with melanomas and generally indicates poor prognosis
  12. 27. the three __________ fluids are pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal
Down
  1. 1. multinucleate cells with an odd number of nuclei, particularly when not well-separated, are __________ and should be sent to pathology for review
  2. 2. these types of injuries may result in a high volume of bacteria and fungal organisms in a body fluid smear
  3. 3. whenever these round, poorly-staining and sometimes budding organisms are seen in a body fluid smear, it may be prudent to call the physician and suggest they order an antigen test if one has not already been ordered
  4. 4. spun lymphocytes may have __________-shaped nuclei
  5. 5. whenever these small microorganisms are present, they should be noted and it may be prudent to call the physician and suggest a culture if one is not already ordered
  6. 7. these cells are larger, with a very round nucleus and pronounced dark cytoplasm, and are only found in serous fluids
  7. 9. monocytes seen in body fluids have a __________ appearance because of their ability to turn into macrophages
  8. 10. when a body fluid is overwhelmingly neutrophils, this is an indicator of __________
  9. 12. a macrophage containing lipid particles
  10. 13. on a Wright stain, bacteria always appear gram __________
  11. 14. these large, multi-nucleated cells produce CSF and may be present in CSF smears of patients with hydrocephalus or chronic ventricular infection
  12. 17. these cells can appear in body fluids and may look similar to lymphocytes, but have a dark blue cytoplasm with an obvious clearing near the nucleus
  13. 18. cytocentrifuged neutrophils may have __________ nucleus segmentation
  14. 21. a macrophage containing red blood cells
  15. 23. this disease appears on body fluid stains (especially CSF) as banana-shaped organisms and ovoid cell inclusions with lavendar cytoplasm and clustered red granules
  16. 24. like macrophages, mesothelial cells may be __________
