What are Some Examples of Histological Responses to Specific Stimuli?
Examples of histological responses include:
Hypertrophy: Enlargement of cells in response to increased workload, such as in cardiac muscle cells in hypertension. Hyperplasia: Increase in cell number, often seen in glandular tissues in response to hormonal stimulation. Metaplasia: Replacement of one cell type with another, commonly seen in epithelial tissues in response to chronic irritation. Necrosis: Cell death due to injury, observable as disrupted cell membranes and loss of tissue architecture.
