Why is Cellular Morphology Important in Toxicology?
Morphological changes in cells serve as early indicators of toxicological effects. For instance, a toxin might cause cells to swell, shrink, or even undergo apoptosis. By observing these changes, toxicologists can identify potential toxic agents and assess their impact on biological systems. Cellular morphology helps in understanding the mechanism of action of a toxin and in evaluating the toxicity level.
