Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A biopsy involves the removal of a small piece of tissue for examination under a microscope to diagnose or monitor a suspected condition, such as cancer. Cytology involves the examination of individual cells, not tissue. Curettage involves scraping away tissue from a specific area, but the tissue is not necessarily examined under a microscope. Debridement involves the removal of dead tissue or debris, but does not involve examination under a microscope.
