What means histology?

Answer 1

Histology is the study of the form of cell structures (usually from animals, humans, or plants) under a microsope
Histology is the study of cells and cell structures.
Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals.

Answer 2

Histology is the study of the microscopic structure of tissues and cells in plants, animals, and other organisms. It involves examining tissues under a microscope to understand their organization, composition, and functions in the body. Histology is commonly used in medical diagnosis, research, and education.

Answer 3

Histology is the study of tissue. That being said when one studies histology you study groups of cells' structure and function. For example, what are the cells that compose the stomach? What do these cells look like? What are the roles of these cells?

Answer 4

Tissue histology is tissue morphology. This means that a histologist will examine all tissue samples grossly. All tissue has a definite "normal" appearance as seen inside and outside it's normal environment. This tissue must be described as color, shape, and size before it can be processed for microscopic evaluation. This description (morphology) is part of the tissue histology. The second part is the microscopic description (morphology) of the tissue after it has been stained. The typical stain done on all tissues is the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). This shows the basic structure of the tissue. All tissue components that are basophilic are stained with eosin and will have a pink hue. All the tissue components that are acidophilic are stained purplish blue with the hematoxylin. These are typically the nuclei that turn blue. This stain allows the identification of a particular tissue type, (muscle, lung, and so on). The examination and description of the microscopic structures constitutes the tissue histology.

Answer 5

In order to study tissue under a microscope, that tissue must be very thin. Most of the tissue to be studied is cut below 15 microns (um). A micron is 1/1000 of a millimeter. Actually 15 microns in histology is considered thick. Routine paraffin and cryosections are cut at 5 microns. This is typically 2-3 cell layers thick. After it is cut, the sections are placed on top of a glass microscope slide. The slide usually has some kind of adhesive to keep the tissue from falling off. The slide is then dried in a 60C oven or left overnight. This ensures no water will be on the slide or tissue. It is then dipped in a series of chemicals to stain the tissue and make it permanent for later viewing under a microscope. It is this final product that is considered a histology slide.

It deals with the study of microscopic structure of cells.

Most histology deals with tissues, both normal and abnormal.
