How Does Environmental Manipulation Affect Histology?
Environmental factors can induce a wide range of histological changes. For example, a high-fat diet can lead to the accumulation of lipid droplets in liver cells, a condition known as hepatic steatosis. Exposure to cigarette smoke can cause changes in lung tissue, such as increased mucus production and inflammation, which can be observed under a microscope. These histological changes help in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms behind various diseases.
