Histology vs. Morphology — What's the Difference?

Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy or microanatomy, is the branch of biology which studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues. Histology is the microscopic counterpart to gross anatomy, which looks at larger structures visible without a microscope.

The branch of biology that deals with the form and structure of organisms without consideration of function.

The study of the microscopic structure of tissues.

The study of the forms of things.

The anatomical study of the microscopic structure of animal and plant tissues.

A particular form, shape, or structure.

The microscopic structure of tissue.

The form and structure of an organism or one of its parts

(biology) The study of the microscopic structure, chemical composition and function of the tissue or tissue systems of plants and animals.

(Linguistics) The study of the structure and form of words in language or a language, including inflection, derivation, and the formation of compounds.

That branch of biological science, which treats of the minute (microscopic) structure of animal and vegetable tissues; - called also histiology.

The branch of linguistics which studies the patterns by which words are formed from other words, including inflection, compounding, and derivation.

The study of the patterns of inflection of words or word classes in any given language; the study of the patterns in which morphemes combine to form words, and the rules for combination; morphemics; as, the morphology of Spanish verbs; also, the inflection patterns themselves.
