Intro to Histology: The Four Tissue Types. 2022
Studying anatomy at the whole body level is straightforward enough but it gets harder at the microscopic level. This jumble of cells looks just like this jumble of cells even though they’re totally different organs. This study falls within the field of histology, anatomy at the microscopic level. While it seems intimidating now, if you pursue this field, you’ll find a beautiful, colorfully stained perspective of human anatomy that looks nothing like the macroscopic version. You can also gain clinical insight into pathologies and disease that you can more accurately understand through a microscope. But before we can appreciate the more ornate histology, we have to get down some basics, specifically, four types of tissue that make up every organ in our bodies. IF you’re new here, welcome, my name is Patrick and right off the bat, I want to tell you, the goal of this video is to give you somewhere to start.
