Why is Histology important?
As I’ve learned in biochemistry, the shape or structure of a biomolecule dictates its function. The same principle applies to tissues. The morphology of the cell that constitutes a tissue tells us a lot about what that tissue can do. For example, the cells present in our respiratory tract are coated with cilia that are capable of moving particles. Because of that our lungs can clean itself from dust, bacteria, and other debris. That is why it is important for us to study histology. Even the tiniest of structure has some kind of contribution to the functioning of an entire organ. Studying these details will give a better understanding of our own bodies.
