Histology's Role in Understanding Organ Function and Dysfunction
Author(s): Marilyn Sundling*
Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy, plays a pivotal role in unraveling the intricate details of organ structure and function at the cellular and tissue levels. This scientific discipline delves into the microscopic world of tissues, offering a profound understanding of the organization and arrangement of cells within organs. The insights garnered from histological studies are indispensable for comprehending both normal organ function and the underlying causes of dysfunction. In this article, we will explore the significance of histology in the context of understanding organ function and dysfunction, shedding light on its contributions to medical research, diagnostics, and the development of therapeutic interventions. Histology involves the examination of tissues through the use of microscopes and specialized staining techniques. Tissues, comprised of cells and extracellular .. Read More»
