How Does Abnormal Tissue Architecture Affect Function?
Abnormal tissue architecture can significantly impair the function of affected organs. In cancer, the disorganized tissue structure can hinder the normal function of the organ, leading to symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and organ failure. In fibrosis, the stiffened tissue can restrict organ movement and function, as seen in restrictive lung disease. Therefore, understanding the relationship between structure and function is crucial for developing effective treatments.
