- 5. hemosiderin appears on body fluid stains as heavy __________ pigmentation
- 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
- 8. cells undergoing __________ division are not usually seen in body fluids and may be an should be noted as abnormal
- 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
- 15. centrifuged __________ are often large, very round, and have fine chromatin patterns with nucleoli and a high nucleus to cytoplasm ratio
- 16. a monophage containing hemosiderin particles
- 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
- 20. in cytocentrifuged eos and basos, the cell's __________ may spin down to one side
- 22. nucleated cell count should be done __________ cytocentrifuging a slide
- 25. centrifugation can expose these nuclear structures on cells where they are not normally visible, but this does not make them abnormal or blasts
- 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
- 27. the three __________ fluids are pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal
Down
- 1. multinucleate cells with an odd number of nuclei, particularly when not well-separated, are __________ and should be sent to pathology for review
- 2. these types of injuries may result in a high volume of bacteria and fungal organisms in a body fluid smear
- 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. spun lymphocytes may have __________-shaped nuclei
- 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
- 7. these cells are larger, with a very round nucleus and pronounced dark cytoplasm, and are only found in serous fluids
- 9. monocytes seen in body fluids have a __________ appearance because of their ability to turn into macrophages
- 10. when a body fluid is overwhelmingly neutrophils, this is an indicator of __________
- 12. a macrophage containing lipid particles
- 13. on a Wright stain, bacteria always appear gram __________
- 14. these large, multi-nucleated cells produce CSF and may be present in CSF smears of patients with hydrocephalus or chronic ventricular infection
- 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
- 18. cytocentrifuged neutrophils may have __________ nucleus segmentation
- 21. a macrophage containing red blood cells
- 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
- 24. like macrophages, mesothelial cells may be __________
