Q

testing fructose in seminal fluid reflects the secretory function of the _ _, as well as the functional integrity of the _ _ and _ _.

A

seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts vas defencns

21
Q

what is the primary function of seminal fluid?

A

carry sperm

22
Q

explain the requirements for the collection of a specimen for semen analysis.

A

transport w/i hr sex absintence least 48 hrs no more than 7 days

23
Q

what is the normal length of time (in minutes) for a semen specimen t liquefy? After liquefaction, the viscosity closely resembles tat of what other fluid? what would be considered abnormal liquefaction?

A

within 30 min
visocosity= water
abnormal greater than 60 m

24
Q

motility should be evaluated within how many minutes following collection?

A

w/i 60 min

25
Q

explain the color, clarity, viscosity and clot formation of normal synovial fluid

A

color clear paLE yellow
clarity clear
viscosity very viscous
clot formation none

26
Q

is fibrinogen a normal constituent of normal synovial fluid?

A

no

27
Q

does hyaluronate affect the turbidity of a synovial fluid specimen? Name some things that might cause a synovial fluid to be turbid in apperance. WBC RBC celluar debris name 2 more

A

NO

crystals fat droplets

28
Q

why should a synovial fluid be examined ASAP? which component, if present, might be most adversely affected by a delay in examination?

A

crystals can form over time or dissolve or be phagocytized

29
Q

for microscopic examination purposes, the synovial fluid should be placed in a tube containing which anticagulant? why should other anticoagulants be avoided?

A

Na Hep others are avoided to prevent artifacts

30
Q

Name the diluent that should be used should be synovial fluid need to be diluted for microscopic exam.

A

if supernatent is clear i is traumatic tap yellow xanthochrmial a hemorrhage

if amount of blood decreases traumatic tap is stays same hemmorage

38
Q

define xanthochromia

A

yellow tint of csf post subaranoid hemorrage due to RBC pigments
