👉 Okay, let’s tackle this frankly rather prickly bit of biological fancy! Let's talk about histology and histologic stuff. 3itz you. (Okay, okay, I'll actually explain. It just needs a little… dramatic flair.)
What exactly is Histology anyway?
Basically, histology is the utterly depressing, wonderfully nerdy field of really closely examining the
stuff that makes up living things – but specifically the stuff inside your, and frankly everyone else's, insides.
Instead of looking at pretty shells on the beach (tho who am I to judge a pretty shell?), we’re digging into what looks like a beige, fleshy, and sometimes quite frankly disturbing architectural blueprint.
Think of it this way: you see a house – that’s gross anatomy! Histology is when you take a sledgehammer, demolish the whole darned thing, then meticulously examine each individual brick, shingle, and… let's just say, the slightly unsettling underbelly of the foundation. 3itz.
’Histologic(al)’ is just the fancy adjective form that describes something done according to the rules and practices of histology.
You could say a histological biopsy was taken - it basically means the way this specimen was prepared for looking at in the lab, with those careful stains and sections. It's what you call it if some very serious and probably slightly horrified scientist spent 18 hours painstakingly preparing that beige blueprint.
Now, let
