Menarche Cellular Pattern
In this painting, the Author symbolizes a microscopic view of a Pap smear,from a ten year old patient. There are only , squamous parabasal cells and few white blood cells (PMNL) reflecting the absence of gonadal hormones.

Puberty Cellular Pattern
The Author, symbolizes a microscopic view of a Pap smear, obtained from a patient at puberty .
This painting contains mostly squamous intermediate cells, with few squamous superficial cells, indicating the beginning of the estrogen production by the ovaries.

Estrogenic Cellular Pattern
In this microscopic view, the patient was at day 14 of her menstrual cycle, the estrogen effect was at its
highest, squamous superficial cells predominate in this stage of the cycle.

Progesteronic Cellular Pattern
In this Painting, the Cytologist/Artist symbolizes a microscopic view of a Pap smear
from a patient at day 22 of her menstrual cycle, progesterone hormone produces clumping of the squamous intermediate cells.

Cytolytic Cellular Pattern
The Author in this Painting symbolizes a microscopic view
of a Pap smear from a pregnant patient, mostly bare nuclei from the squamous intermediate cells are present do to the cyto1ytic action from the lactic acid, that the Doederlain bacillus produces when it break down the Glycogen from the cytoplasm of the cells.

NavicuIar Cellular Pattern
In this Painting, the Artist symbolizes a microscopic view of a Pap
smear from a pregnant patient. The painting shows mostly squamous intermediate cells containing glycogen,
that pushes the nuclei into an eccentric pattern

Post Partum Cellular Pattern
This microscopic view of a Pap smear
from a patient after delivery. There are mostly squamous parabasal cells with karyorhexis and debris. The ovaries had not resumed its funtion, therefore, the cell pattern is atrophic.

Atrophic Cellular Pattern
The Cytolog ist, with this Painting, symbolizes a microscopic view of a Pap smear from a 67 year old patient.A predominance of squamous parabasal cells and few white bIood cells (PMNL) indicate the absence of gonodal hormone effect. The cell pattern is atrophic.

Endocervical cells
In this Painting, the Artist symbolizes a microscopic view of a Pap smear from a 24 year old patient. The predominance are endocervical cells cilliated and mucus producing cells.
