Study Notes
Branches of Biology
- Histology is the branch of biology that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues.
Histology Subfields
- Pathological histology involves the microscopic identification and study of diseased tissue.
- Micropaleontology is the term for the histology of fossil organisms.
Animal Tissues
- There are four basic types of animal tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
- Modern usage places under the field of histology the study of these four basic tissue types.
- The subtypes of these four basic tissue types are:
- Epithelial: squamous, cuboidal, columnar, and transitional
- Connective: loose, dense, and specialized
- Muscle: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
- Nervous: neurons and glial cells
Relations to Other Fields
- Histology is the microscopic counterpart to gross anatomy.
- Histology is closely related to cell biology, which is the branch of biology that studies the study of cells.
- Pathological histology is a branch of histology that includes the microscopic identification and study of diseased tissue.
