    Histology is the study of tissues in the body and how they are arranged to form organs. It involves studying the structure and arrangement of cells as well as their interactions with the extracellular matrix. Tissues are made of two main components: cells and the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix consists of macromolecules that form highly organized complex structures and functions to provide mechanical support, transport nutrients, and carry away waste products. During development, cells and their extracellular matrix become specialized and give rise to fundamental tissue types with characteristic structural features. Organs are then formed by the orderly combination of these specialized tissues. Since cells and matrix components are small, histology requires the use of microscopes.

    Cells produce the ECM locally


    and are strongly influenced by matrix molecules.
    Many matrix components bind to specific cell surface receptors
    that connect to structural components inside the cells,
    forming a continuum
    in which cells and the ECM function together in a well-coordinated manner.
