March 20, 2023Histology of the Circulatory System🫀
The circulatory system, or the cardiovascular system, commands the function of blood cells—to pump and direct these blood cells and other substances to be carried in the blood to supply all tissues of the body. “Cardio” meaning ‘heart’ and “vascular” referring to ‘blood vessels.’ It consists of the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins and these all participate in pumping blood from the heart to the lungs to obtain oxygen and then to the body.
The heart is the one that pumps blood throughout the system and is surrounded by a fibrous sac called the pericardium. The series of vessels efferent from the heart and is one of the carriers or transporters of blood to the tissues are called arteries. They become smaller since they branch out to the various organs in the body. The smallest vessels that act as the site of waste product exchange between blood and tissues are called the capillaries. Alongside the arteries, they both carry blood to and from various organs. Veins are the result of the convergence of venules into a system of larger channels. They are able to enlarge once they approach the heart, toward in which they carry the blood to be pumped once again.
The circulatory system is a complex network that works at keeping all of us alive and thus, it is important to keep ourselves healthy in order to not compromise the intriguing events inside our body.

Why is histology important? 📌🔬
The word histology comes from the two Greek words ‘histo’ and ‘logos’, with the former meaning ‘tissue’ and the latter meaning ‘the study of’—hence, the study of tissues.Histology is considered as the science of microscopic structures of human tissues and organs. Histology is deemed important as it aids us in gaining further knowledge and understanding about ourselves in a more scientific manner. It is a fascinating and fundamental field. Fascinating since we are able to observe ourselves at a microscopic level, and fundamental as by doing so, we are able to visualize the various structures of tissues and their characteristics. Histology is able to shed light on the importance of the histological perspective since it provides us with the ability to utilize it for medical diagnoses, scientific studies, and so on. Histology has high clinical significance and by studying it, one is able to enhance their knowledge on the subject.

01/31/24What is Histology Art? 🔬🖼️
Histology refers to the important process that makes it possible for tissue samples to be used in various tests in order to evaluate diagnoses. More often than not, it is referred to as the “intersection of art and science.” Searching on the art of histology in Google, I stumbled upon an article about an art exhibit called “Magnified, the Art of Histology” which contained several art interpretations of tissue histology stains from several individuals. Attached to the article was a short video on the various artwork exhibited in the exhibit, which contained personal and creative approaches to histology—to which I thought was intriguing and personally touching as a concept.
Delving more to histology art, I opted to check the images in Google and saw several renditions of histology art as recreations of famous paintings such as Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.” Histology art allows one to explore all aspects of histology in a manner which is both intriguing, creative, and informative.
