    method of cutting tissue samples parallel to the surface

    Horizontal sections refer to a method used in histology, particularly in the study of hair and skin, where tissue samples are cut parallel to the surface. This technique allows for the examination of the entire hair follicle structure at different depths, providing a comprehensive view of hair growth patterns, follicle density, and potential abnormalities. It is especially useful in diagnosing conditions like alopecia, as it can reveal detailed information about the hair growth cycle and follicular health.
