Not a useful concept in dealing with cells and tissues. This word may be used loosely to describe something presently unknown Cytology refers to the branches of biology and medicine concerned with the structure and function of plant and animal cells, while histology refers to the study of the microscopic structure of tissues. Furthermore, cytology is a narrow study area, while histology is a wide study area.
• The study of cellular structure and function is called cytology, while the
study of cells and tissues in an organism is called histology. • The costs for histological studies are higher than cytology.,
×Cytology is the study of cellular structure and function, while histology is the study of the microscopic structure of tissues. Cytology focuses on the individual cells, while histology examines the cells and tissues in an organism. Cytology is a narrower study area than histology, which covers a wider range of topics. Histological studies are more expensive than cytological studies.
