Cytology

Cytology: Cytology is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and chemistry of cells. It’s crucial in the field of cellular biology and is commonly used in medical diagnosis. For instance, a cytologist may examine a smear of cells from a patient’s tissue (like a Pap smear) to look for cancerous or precancerous cells. Cytology provides valuable insights into cellular health, enabling early detection and treatment of diseases.
