Best Open Access Journals In Histology
Human
anatomy is pretty straightforward. If you were to look at some bones on a skeleton, you’d see a greyish rigid mass with some bumps and depressions. However, if you take a much closer look, you’ll see that the histology of bones is a whole other story.
Histology is the science of the microscopic structure of cells,
tissues and organs. It also helps us understand the relationship between structure and function. By examining a thin slice of bone tissue under a microscope, colorized with special staining techniques, you see that these seemingly simple bones are actually a complex microworld containing an array of structures with various different functions. In this article, we will introduce you to the microscopic world of histology.
Key facts about histology:
Histology: Microanatomy or microscopic anatomy,The study of
cells and tissues, from their intracellular components to their organization into organs and organ systems.
Cell structure: Cellular membrane, cytoplasm, organelles, nucleus
Tissues : A unity of
cells with a similar structure that as a whole express a definite and unique function.
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
Organs: A unity of
tissues with a more complex set of functions, defined by the combination of structure and function of the comprising tissues
Systems of organs: A group of organs united by similar functions.Cardiovascular, nervous, integumentary, musculoskeletal, respiratory, digestive, excretory, endocrine, lymphatic, and reproductive
Histology techniques: Tissue preparation, tissue staining, microscopy, hybridisation
