How Do Cellular Mechanisms Contribute to Histological Adaptation?
Cellular mechanisms play a pivotal role in histological adaptation. Key processes include:
Cell proliferation: The increase in the number of cells through cell division, which helps in tissue growth and repair. Cell differentiation: The process by which cells become specialized in structure and function, enabling them to perform specific roles. Apoptosis: Programmed cell death, which removes damaged or unnecessary cells, maintaining tissue health and function. Extracellular matrix remodeling: The reorganization of the extracellular matrix, providing structural support and facilitating cell signaling.
