Baboons are often studied in the field of histology for several reasons:
1. Genetic Similarity: Baboons share a significant percentage of their DNA with humans, making them ideal for studying human diseases and physiological processes. 2. Organ Systems: The organ systems of baboons are similar in structure and function to those of humans, aiding in the understanding of human histology. 3. Disease Models: Baboons can be used to model human diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and infectious diseases, allowing for detailed histological examination.
