Why are Ion Channels and Receptors Important in Histology?
Understanding ion channels and receptors is vital in histology for several reasons:
They are essential for cell communication and signaling, affecting various physiological processes. Abnormalities in ion channels and receptors can lead to diseases, making them important targets for medical research and drug development. They play a crucial role in the function of excitable cells, such as neurons and muscle cells, which are often studied in histology.
