ch. 54 cytology of specific sites
normally the _ or _ cavities only have enough fluid to lubricate the surfaces of the organs and cavity
walls
peritoneal, thoracic
peritoneal and pleural fluid is collected in EDTA tubes for
total nucleated cell counts, cytologic examination, refractometer protein measurement
you should also collect peritoneal and pleural fluid in a plain tube for determination of the _ _
concentration
total protein
normal color, turbidity, and odor for cavity fluid
colorless, transparent, and odorless
gross discolorations and increased turbidity result of?
increased cells numbers and/or protein
_ fluid in the peritoneal cavity indicates a ruptures or necrotic segment of bowel or accidental
enterocentesis
malodorous
puncture of the intestine with a hollow needle to withdraw substances
enterocentesis
you can distinguish malodourous fluid by _ examination
cytologic
_ _ _ _ (TNCC) have the same method as a complete blood count.
total nucleated cell counts
total nucleated cell counts are less than _ nucleated cell/microliter
10,000
, in TNCC, you should note all cell types and morphologic characteristics including
neutrophils, large mononuclear cells, lymphocytes, eosinophils, other nucleated cells
you want to note _ present with both the morphology and location
bacteria
normal peritoneal and pleural fluids contain few _
rbc's
the number of rbc's present on smears should be estimated as
rare, few, many, and large numbers
the amount of rbc's present is dependent on sample _
collection
if rbc's are present for several hours, they may be phagocytized by macrophages which is called
erythrophagocytosis
the TNCC and total protein classifies as?
transudate, modified transudate, or exudate
_ are fluids with increased cellularity and protein concentration
exudates
_ _ reactions increase the total cell count
suppurative inflammatory
_ cells line the body cavity
mesothelial
if increased fluid is present cells become _
reactive
reactive mesothelial cells may be difficult to differentiate from _ cells
neoplastic
normally the _ or _ cavities only have enough fluid to lubricate the surfaces of the organs and cavity
walls
