How do hormones affect the histology of different organs?
Hormones can significantly alter the histology of various organs:
Adrenal Glands: Cortisol from the adrenal cortex influences glucose metabolism, while aldosterone regulates sodium and potassium balance. Thyroid Gland: Thyroid hormones increase the metabolic activity of almost all tissues, affecting their histological appearance. Reproductive Organs: Estrogen and progesterone cause cyclic changes in the endometrial lining of the uterus, crucial for menstrual cycles and pregnancy.
