histological criteria

Histological criteria refer to specific features observed under a microscope that help identify and diagnose different types of tissues or diseases. These features include cell shapes, sizes, arrangements, and how they interact with each other. For example, normal cells have consistent patterns, while abnormal cells might look irregular or disorganized. Pathologists use these microscopic details to determine if tissues are healthy, inflamed, or cancerous. In essence, histological criteria are the detailed "fingerprints" of tissues that guide accurate diagnosis and understanding of disease processes.
