What Impact Does Nutrition Have on Tissue Histology?
Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining tissue health. A deficiency or excess of certain nutrients can lead to histological changes. For example, a deficiency in vitamin C can lead to scurvy, characterized by weakened collagen fibers and impaired wound healing, observable under microscopic examination. On the other hand, excessive fat intake can result in fatty liver, where lipid droplets accumulate in hepatocytes.
