What is the Role of Histology in Diagnosing Endocrine Dysfunctions?
Histology involves the microscopic examination of tissues, which is pivotal in diagnosing endocrine disorders. By observing the cellular architecture and composition of endocrine glands, pathologists can identify abnormalities that may indicate dysfunctions. Techniques such as immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy further enhance the diagnostic accuracy by detailing specific cellular components and hormone-producing cells.
