Pap smears are no longer used to detect cell atrophy.

Pap smears can detect early signs of cervical cancer by identifying abnormal cell changes on the cervix. They can also help identify precancerous conditions, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Additionally, Pap smears may indicate the presence of certain infections, including human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a leading cause of cervical cancer. Regular screenings are crucial for maintaining cervical health and preventing cancer progression.
Atrophy- refers to a decrease in cell size.
Atrophy
I believe that "Atrophy" is the word you are looking for.
The technical term for when a cell shrinks is crenation. This occurs if the cell is exposed to a hypertonic solution as fluid is drawn out of the cell by osmosis.
Air-drying smears during bacterial staining is essential to fix the cells to the slide. This helps prevent cell loss when they are subsequently stained and washed in the staining process. Air-drying also helps to preserve the cellular morphology and structure for accurate microscopic examination.
There are several types of smears used in various fields, particularly in medical diagnostics and cytology. Common types include Pap smears, which are used to screen for cervical cancer; blood smears, which assess blood cells for abnormalities; and Gram stains, which classify bacteria based on their cell wall characteristics. Each type serves a specific purpose in identifying diseases or infections through microscopic examination.
Smears are prepared to study microscopic features of a specimen. If we use thisk smears, then it would be difficult to study morphologic features. That's why, thin smears are preferred over thick smears
Muscular atrophy is when the muscles in the body begin to break down on a cellular level due to lack of oxygen, disease, or simply lack of excercise. Don't confuse it with necrosis. Necrosis is complete cell death. Atrophy is just a loss of muscular integrity (i.e. getting fat and losing strength).
