Scholarly Open Access Journals In Histology

 Histology,also referred to as anatomy or microanatomy, is that the branch of biology which studies the anatomy of biological tissues. Histology is that the microscopic counterpart to macroscopic anatomy , which looks at larger structures visible without a microscope. Although one may divide microscopic anatomy into organology the study of organs, histology, the study of tissues, and cytology, the study of cells, modern usage places these topics under the field of histology. In medicine, histopathology is that the branch of histology that has the microscopic identification and study of diseased tissue. In the field of paleontology, the term paleohistology refers to the histology of fossil organisms. Histology is the study of tissues and their structure. The structure of each tissue is directly related to its function, so histology is related to anatomy and physiology. Similarly, histopathology is the study of tissues affected by disease. This is something that can be very useful in making a diagnosis and in determining the severity and progress of a condition. Disease processes affect tissues in distinctive ways, which depend on the type of tissue, the disease itself and how it has progressed. Histopathology units are found in most of the hospitals and there are also independent private laboratories. The services provided by these laboratories can be accessed by healthcare professionals, such as general practitioners Because of the great variety of tests that are available, and the high level of skill that is needed to carry them out and interpret them, many laboratories specialise in particular tissues or types of diagnosis. For example, a neuropathology laboratory will focus on understanding diseases that affect the nervous system. Histology is also used extensively in biomedical research, to identify the causes and possible treatments for disease. This type of research may take place in a hospital laboratory but it is more often carried out in universities, research institutes and pharmaceutical companies.
