Polymorphism in Morphology

Polymorphism in morphology refers to the presence of different structural options in cells, tissues and organs that have a common origin. This phenomenon is due to the fact that cells and tissues have the ability to change their structure and function depending on environmental conditions and the needs of the body.

Polymorphism can appear in various forms, such as:

  1. Cells with different shapes and sizes. For example, red blood cells are spherical, while white blood cells are round or oval.
  2. Different degrees of cell differentiation. For example, one organ may contain cells with varying degrees of differentiation - from immature to mature.
  3. The presence of different types of cells in one organ. For example, the liver may contain cells that perform different functions - liver cells, gallbladder cells and pancreatic cells.
  4. Different rates of cell division. For example, skin cells divide more slowly than blood cells.
  5. Different ability to regenerate. For example, nerve cells are capable of regeneration after damage, but blood cells are not.
  6. Different shapes of vessels. For example, veins have a wider and softer wall than arteries.
  7. Different density and structure of fabrics. For example, muscles have a denser and tougher structure than skin.
  8. Different tissue permeability. For example, the skin has higher permeability than the liver.
  9. Different sensitivity to external influences. For example, nervous tissue is more sensitive to changes in temperature and pressure than muscle tissue.
  10. Different metabolic levels. For example, tissues with high metabolic activity, such as the heart, require more oxygen and nutrients than tissues with low metabolic activity.

In general, polymorphism is an important phenomenon in morphology, as it allows the organism to adapt to changing environmental conditions and perform various functions.



Polymorphism in morphology is the presence in cells or tissues of a common origin of various forms of structure, which may differ in functional and anatomical properties. Polymorphic cells have many morphological characteristics that allow them to perform various functions and adapt to changing environmental conditions. So
