Cell fragility causes smudge cells to appear on peripheral smears. Addition of albumin prior to slide preparation essentially coats the fragile cells, thus keeping them intact on smear preparation.
Smudge cells are caused by the mechanical disruption of fragile cells, such as lymphocytes, during the slide preparation process for blood smear examination. This can occur due to rough handling, poor staining techniques, or improper smear creation. Smudge cells are often seen in samples with high white blood cell counts and do not represent pathological changes in the cells themselves.

Liquid eyeliner. It doesn't smear at all whereas pencil eyeliner does. Hope this helped!! :)
Polymorphonuclear cells are white blood cells. These are a nonspecific finding on a pap smear result. Contact your health care provider to find out if any further evaluation is required in your specific situation.
Epithelial cells are a normal part of the anatomy. They are the type of cell checked in a pap smear. If they are present, it's a sign that the pap smear got a decent sample.
A dense smear will make it difficult to evaluate cells, as they may be all "piled up" and hard to evaluate.
A pap smear is classified in a number of ways. The adequacy of the smear is evaluated in terms of the types and numbers of cells collected. The cervical cells are evaluated for normalcy. Lastly, if any additional findings are noted, such as yeast, these are reported as well.
Endocervical and/or squamous cells are normal on a pap smear. This notation on your result means the test was complete.
