Cellular pathology, also known as anatomical pathology or histopathology, is a branch of pathology that focuses on the study of disease at the cellular level. It involves the examination of tissues and cells to identify abnormalities and understand the underlying mechanisms of disease. Cellular pathology plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various diseases, providing valuable insights into the pathogenesis and progression of pathological conditions. This article will explore the fundamental concepts of cellular pathology, including its techniques, applications, and significance in modern medicine. Histology involves the preparation of tissue samples for microscopic examination. Tissues are fixed, processed, and embedded in paraffin wax before being sliced into thin sections. These sections are stained with dyes, such as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), to visualize cellular structures and abnormalities. Histology is widely used in diagnosing cancer, inflammatory diseases, and various other pathological conditions.
