Tissue types are discussed in relation to exfoliative cytology specimens. A library orientation includes a tour and training in the various computer-based resources. Gynecological Cytology Presents the gross and microscopic anatomy, physiology, histology, pathology, and cytology of the female cervix. Establishes the foundation for identifying and understanding basic cell types. Lectures, demonstrations, and lab sessions focus on the anatomy, histology, and embryology of the female genital tract.
Lectures conclude with multihead microscope demonstrations.
Initiates the independent screening of unknown cases and the dotting of slides that will continue throughout the year. A prerequisite for the study of all other body systems. A continuation of Gynecological Cytology. Squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and other malignancies are introduced, compared, and contrasted for diagnostic differentiation. Introduction and training in ThinPrep GYN specimans will allow for certification with this technique.
