Cervical cancer test = A procedure to test for cervical cancer in women Columnar epithelial cells = Epithelial cells with tall and column-shaped appearance Pathological calcification = Deposition of calcium salts in tissues as a result of injury or disease Goblet cells = Cells in the respiratory and intestinal tracts that secrete mucus

Hypertrophy = Increase in cell size resulting in tissue enlargement Hyperplasia = Increase in the number of cells resulting in tissue enlargement Normal ciliated epithelium = Epithelial cells with hair-like projections called cilia Squamous epithelial cells = Flat, scale-like epithelial cells
