Human: My doctor says I need to undergo a pap smear. What should I expect during this procedure? Assistant: 
You will be asked to lie on your back with your feet in stirrups and then the doctor or nurse will insert a speculum into your vagina. The doctor or nurse will then use a brush, called a cytobrush, to scrape cells from the cervix. After that, the doctor or nurse will remove the brush and then take some samples of the scraped cells for testing.
