When comparing blood smears of patient with intact spleens and those of patients without spleens the blood smears of patients without spleens will likely reveal what?

Blood smears of patients without spleens are likely to show Howell-Jolly bodies, which are nuclear remnants normally removed by the spleen. Additionally, there may be an increase in target cells and spherocytes due to altered red blood cell morphology. This can be a diagnostic indicator of asplenia.


When comparing the blood smears of patients with intact spleens to those of patients without spleens the blood smears of patients without spleens will likely reveal?

One of the main functions of the spleen is to remove "old" platelets from the blood supply. This should mean that the blood smears from the patients without spleens would show far higher levels of platelets than would be seen in the samples from those with spleens.


When comparing blood smears of patients with intact spleens and patients without spleens the patients without spleens will reveal what?

One of the major function of spleen is to destroy old RBCs while they try to pass between it's sinusoids(as only new RBCs are elastic enough not to rupture), so a person who had splenctomy, will have more number of senile and ill formed RBCs.


Why should your smear be a thin?

A thin smear is important because it allows for a more even distribution of cells, making it easier for pathologists to examine and identify any abnormalities. This technique reduces the likelihood of overlapping cells and provides clearer visibility, improving diagnostic accuracy. Additionally, thin smears can facilitate faster processing and interpretation, leading to timely results for patients. Overall, thin smears enhance the reliability of cytological evaluations.


What is Haemin Crystals?

Haemin crystals are needle-like structures that form when hemoglobin is oxidized and turns into methemoglobin. These crystals are commonly seen in blood smears from patients with certain types of hemolytic anemias or hemoglobinopathies. They are visualized under a microscope and their presence can aid in diagnosing these conditions.
