“Why is Histology Important?”
The article was truly insightful. Histology really does enable us to look at things from a microscopic point of view. Explaining further about how interaction between ECM components can create different tissues —each with their own distinct structure and function— and the application of histology in identifying these tissues under the microscope through the preparation of tissue sections is really fascinating.

“What is Medical Histology?”
I like how it was mentioned that the study of normal tissue allows us to differentiate it from abnormal ones. As well as how it was further explained throughout the article that there is a significant difference in tissue structure when it is affected by diseases. The article has helped in informing us, readers, of the application of medical histology in the role of histology in the diagnosis of a disease.

“What is the Largest Cell in the Human Body?”
It’s amazing how the largest and the smallest cells in the human body are both reproductive cells —the largest being the ovum and the smallest being the sperm. I also like how it was mentioned fun facts about blood cells, like how the smallest hemocyte is actually our thrombocytes —their functions in tissue repair, how they’re produced in the bone marrow, and how they change their shape whenever something happens to a blood vessel—, that there are different types of white blood cells —the macrophages are scavengers meanwhile, agranulocytes are those with no distinct granules in their cytoplasm—, and red blood cells that carry nutrients and oxygen around the body. The article truly highlights the complexity of the human body.

“Why is the Ribosome so Important?”
The article effectively explained the role that ribosomes play in cellular activities. How they are responsible for the production of enzymes, the transport and storage of nutrients, and how they act as hormones . It also talked about ribosomes that could either be free-floating in the cytosol or membrane-bound. Additionally, the origin of ribosomes and where they are located once they’re made were mentioned which allowed me to understand how it works when synthesizing proteins.
