The detailed examination of cellular morphology is essential for several reasons:
Diagnosis of Diseases: Abnormal cellular morphology can indicate diseases such as cancer, diabetes, or cirrhosis. Understanding Cell Function: The shape and size of a cell often correlate with its function. For instance, the long, thin morphology of neurons aids in the transmission of nerve impulses. Developmental Biology: Observing the changes in cellular morphology during development helps in understanding differentiation and tissue formation.
