Stereological methods allow the determination of volumes, surfaces or number of tissue and/or cell compartments. The quantitative data on human biopsy specimens of the prostate suggest a diminution of the secretory activity of the glandular cells, while the smooth muscle cells are activated: the relative volumes of the Golgi areas and the rough endoplasmic reticulum are increased. Stereology will be a valuable tool for objective search on hormonal dependence of the glandular as well as the smooth muscular cells. Therein, the role of the smooth muscle cells in benigh prostatic hyperplasia should be focused.
体视学方法可用于确定组织和/或细胞区室的体积、表面积或数量。对人类前列腺活检标本的定量数据表明，腺细胞的分泌活动减少，而平滑肌细胞被激活：高尔基体区域和粗面内质网的相对体积增加。体视学将成为客观研究腺细胞和平滑肌细胞激素依赖性的宝贵工具。其中，应关注平滑肌细胞在良性前列腺增生中的作用。
