Histopathology is a specialized branch of histology focused on the study of diseased tissues. It plays a crucial role in medical diagnostics by:
Identifying Tumors: Histopathologists can distinguish between benign and malignant tumors based on tissue structure and cell morphology. Evaluating Infections: Histopathology helps in identifying bacterial, viral, and fungal infections by examining tissue responses and identifying pathogens. Assessing Organ Damage: It can reveal the extent of damage in organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs, guiding treatment decisions.
