Ghostface Killer is back!
Only this time he’s hiding in a rectum!
Scaring while you’re learning!
A rectal scrape is performed (more often in veterinary med) to obtain a sample of the epithelial cells lining the rectum. These are observed in the microscope for abnormal changes or for microbes and their eggs/larvae that might be present in the digestive tract.
This particular scrape contains an epithelial cell that appears to be bi-nucleate and is surrounded by red blood cells.
