Explanation
Answer: B - The organizational structure of the clinical laboratory refers to the method by which the laboratory divides itself into departments. Generally, a clinical laboratory is divided into two main sections: anatomic pathology (responsible for cytology and surgical pathology), and clinical pathology (responsible for analyzing blood and body fluids). From these two sections, other smaller departments are created to organize the laboratory into different areas, each focusing on one area of analysis.
