Cell specimens may be obtained from various body sites, such as the female reproductive tract, the lung, or any body cavity shedding cells. Using special techniques, slides are first prepared from these specimens. CytotechÂ¬nologists then examine the slides microscopically, mark cellular changes that are most representative of a disease process, and submit to a pathologist for final evaluation.
When you are startled, you feel a number of things. Your heart may race, you may sweat, you may breathe faster, your muscles may tense (to the point you might even jump), and you may feel scared. This is known as your startle response. When someone jumps out from behind you and yells, âBoo!â that may initiate a startle response.
Its anatomic origin is probably the brain stem. Pathologic startles are defined as reproducible exaggerated startle responses to trivial and not surprising stimuli. Symptomatic forms of an exaggerated startle response can be due to a variety of brain stem disorders.ymptomatic forms of an exaggerated startle response are less frequent and can be due to a variety of brain stem disorders, tetanus, strychnine intoxication or stiff-man syndrome. We have, however, found scant data about an exaggerated startle reflex induced by Lyme neuroborreliosis.
