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.
Because she may not respond to you that way until she's around 2 months, tickling isn't likely to inspire any response before then. Even after, her laughter doesn't necessarily mean she's enjoying it, says Tiffany Field, Ph.D., director of the Touch Research Institutes at the University of Miami School of Medicine. So when your baby is old enough to giggle when you lean over to give her a good tickle, don't overdo it. It's like a roller coaster: Rousing stimulation can be okay for a minute or two, but if your child has had enough -- she's squirming and struggling to get away -- it's time to stop, says Field.
