How Does Histology Help in Understanding Respiratory Diseases?
Histological examination is crucial for diagnosing and understanding various respiratory diseases. For instance, in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), histology reveals changes such as the thickening of airway walls, increased mucus production, and destruction of alveolar walls. Similarly, in asthma, histological studies show inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and remodeling of the airway structures.
