Introduction to Histology and Microscopy in Anatomy
Histology is the study of tissue structure and function in animals and plants, focusing on the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs. It helps in understanding the relationship between structure and function, intertwining disciplines like cell biology, pathology, physiology, and biochemistry. Microscopy is the method used to study tissues and cells. Anatomy, on the other hand, deals with the structure of organisms, their parts, and systems, divided into macroscopic and microscopic branches.

Lec 1 Introduction of Histology
Introduction of Histology Definition Histology is the branch of anatomy that deals with the study of tissues structure and function in animals and plants It is the science of the microscopic structure of cells, tissues and organs. It also helps us understand the relationship between structure and function. The subject interwines the discipline in cell biology, pathology, physiology and biochemistry
Microscopy It is the method used in the study of tissues , cells and its structure using microscope Main types of microscope
What is anatomy? Anatomy (Greek anatom , 'dissection') is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms , their parts and the location of systems and organs . Anatomy is a branch of natural science which deals with the structural organization of living things. It is an old science, having its beginnings in prehistoric times The discipline of anatomy is divided into macroscopic and microscopic. Macroscopic anatomy, or gross anatomy, is the examination of an animal's body parts using unaided eyesight. Gross anatomy also includes the branch of superficial anatomy. Microscopic anatomy involves the use of optical instruments in the study of the tissues of various structures, known as histology, and also in the study of cells.
