Understanding cell organelles is essential in histology for several reasons:
Diagnostic Tool: Abnormalities in organelle structure or function can indicate diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic conditions. Cell Function Insight: Studying organelles provides insights into cellular processes like metabolism, protein synthesis, and cell division. Tissue Health: The health and functionality of tissues are often reflected in the condition of their cells’ organelles. For instance, high mitochondrial activity may indicate high metabolic rates in certain tissues.
