What else can I help you with?
What are the stages of cervical dysplasia in terms that i can understand like i know ascus is the first stage whats the next and how many stages are there i have a few lesions and need a cylosopy?
ASCUS is not a stage of dysplasia; it's a reading on a pap smear, which is a screening test for cervical cancer. A screening test is a simple, noninvasive test to determine what patients need further testing. During a colposcopy, the clinician will typically take biopsies to determine the stage of dysplasia. A pap smear cannot provide that information. See related link for more information about cervical cancer screening and colposcopy.
What cell type can a single flattened layer of epithelium cells represents?
A single flattened layer of epithelial cells can represent squamous epithelium. Squamous epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue characterized by flat, scale-like cells that are closely packed together.
Is simple squamous the epithelium best adapted for a body surface subject to abraision?
No, simple squamous epithelium is thin and not well-suited for areas subject to abrasion. Stratified squamous epithelium, with multiple layers of cells, is better adapted to withstand abrasion and protect underlying tissues.
Does animals and plants have squamous cells?
No, animals and plants do not have squamous cells. Squamous cells are a type of epithelial cell found in vertebrates, including humans, that are flat and scale-like in shape. Animals and plants have different types of cells that fulfill specific functions related to their structure and function.
Is the nucleus in squamous cells centrally located?
not necessarily , it can be at any position .
What does the medical abbreviation HGSIL mean?
High Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion
What does the medical abbreviation LSIL mean?
Low Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion
What is intraepithelial lesion?
A intraepithelial lesion is a medical term used to describe abnormal growth of the epithelial cells. These are located on the surface of the cervix and this condition can lead to cervical cancer.
What is the meaning of negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy?
It means your pap smear was normal.
What does the medical abbreviation NIL mean?
NIL stands for negative for intraepithelial lesion; it's the result on a normal Pap smear.
What does the medical abbreviation cin II mean?
CIN II means cervical intraepithelial neoplasia mid-grade. It's a pre-cancerous lesion of the uterine cervix.
What is the place of dysplastic lesions of squamous epithelium occur most often?
Dysplastic lesions of squamous epithelium most often occur in the cervix of the uterus, which is known as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). These lesions can also be found in other areas such as the oral cavity, esophagus, anus, and skin.
What does the medical abbreviation CIN mean?
Cervical Intraepithelial NeoplasmCervical Intraepithelial Neoplasm
What is squamous epithelial lessions CIN-II?
Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) II refers to the presence of abnormal squamous cells on the surface of the cervix that are moderately dysplastic, or precancerous. These lesions are typically identified through a Pap smear or biopsy and may require further monitoring or treatment to prevent progression to cervical cancer.
What is Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia?
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)-- Abnormal cell growth on the surface of the cervix.
What is high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions?
Grade refers to the degree of differentiation of cells. In this case, high grade indicates that the cells are less differentiated and of irregular architectural structure, hence, more likely to be invasive. In other words, there is a relatively high risk of it progressing to cervical cancer.
