Lesson 2: 7/21/14 Flashcards
- Amoeba’s locomotor apparatus?
Pseudopod - “false feet”
- Types of protozoans?
Amoebae
Flagellates
Ciliates
Sporozoans
- Protozoan with no locomotor apparatus?
Sporozoan
- Trophozoite?
Motile stage
Vegetative stage
–feeding from environment
- Cyst?
Nonmotile stage Infective stage (usual)
- Consistencies of stool?
Formed–cyst
Soft——csyt
Loose—-trophozoite
Watery—trophozoite
- Cyst’s stains?
I2 stain (lugol's / d'antoni's) --KI / I2 / distilled H2O
- Trophozoite’s stain?
Methylene blue
–Quenzel’s methylene blue
- Amoebae?
Lobosea
Phizopoa?
- Examples of amoebae?
Entamoeba histolytica (pathogen) Entamoeba coli (commensal) Endolimax nana Iodamoeba butschlii
- Entamoeba histolytica’s trophozoite?
"Bull's eye" nucleus Finger-like pseudopod (bean)!!! Motility: unidirectional and progessive RBC inclusions (clean) *causes dysentery (diarrhea with blood)
- Entamoeba coli’s trophozoite?
Eccentric nucleus
Bluntly-shaped psudopodia!!!
Motility: nondirectional and slow
Ingests bacteria, fecal debris, yeast (dirty)
- Entamoeba histolytica’s cyst?
Thin cystic wall
IS: Tetra/quadrinucleated
Centrally-located karyosome
Sausage chromatoidal bars (food reservoir)!!!
- Entamoeba coli’s cyst?
Thick cystic wall!!!
IS: octonucleated!!!
Eccentric karyosome
Witch broom chromatoidal bars.
- Endolimax nana’s cyst?
“cross-eyed cyst”
Tetranucleated!!!
Smallest (RBC)!!!
Comma CB
- Iodamoeba butschlii’s cyst?
Mononucleated!!!
Large I2 stained glycogen vacuole!!!
- Example of confuser?
Blastocystis butschlii
- Protozoan, cyst-like pathogen
- large hollow vacuole!!!
- 2-4 peripheral nuclei!!!
- Examples of flagellates?
Atrial (lumen-dwelling)
-Trichomonas species
-Gardia lamblia
Hemoflagellates (vector-borne)
- Gardia lamblia’s trophozoite?
Binucleated
Pear-shaped!!!
4 pairs of flagella
Axostyle/axonema-bilateral image and symmetry
Ventral sucking discs-increase mucous production-blocks absorption of nutrients-causes steatorrhea-increased fats in feces
- Gardia lamblia’s cyst?
IS: tetranucleated
