  2. Morphology (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphology_(biology)

    Morphology of a male skeleton shrimp, Caprella mutica Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features. [1]This includes aspects of the outward appearance (shape, structure, color, pattern, size), i.e. external morphology (or eidonomy), as well as the form and structure of internal parts like bones and organs, i.e. internal ...

  3. Plant morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_morphology

    Plant morphology. Phytomorphology is the study of the physical form and external structure of plants. [1] This is usually considered distinct from plant anatomy, [1] which is the study of the internal structure of plants, especially at the microscopic level. [2] Plant morphology is useful in the visual identification of plants.

  4. Comparative anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_anatomy

    Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species. It is closely related to evolutionary biology and phylogeny [1] (the evolution of species). The science began in the classical era, continuing in the early modern period with work by Pierre Belon who noted the similarities of the skeletons of ...

  5. Anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy

    Anatomy (from Ancient Greek ἀνατομή (anatomḗ) ' dissection ') is the branch of morphology concerned with the study of the internal structure of organisms and their parts. [1] Anatomy is a branch of natural science that deals with the structural organization of living things. It is an old science, having its beginnings in prehistoric ...

  6. Insect morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_morphology

    mouthparts. Insect morphology is the study and description of the physical form of insects. The terminology used to describe insects is similar to that used for other arthropods due to their shared evolutionary history. Three physical features separate insects from other arthropods: they have a body divided into three regions (called tagmata ...

  7. Glossary of plant morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_plant_morphology

    The accompanying page—Plant morphology—provides an overview of the science of the external form of plants. There is also an alphabetical list: Glossary of botanical terms. In contrast, this page deals with botanical terms in a systematic manner, with some illustrations, and organized by plant anatomy and function in plant physiology. [1]

  8. Plant reproductive morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproductive_morphology

    Plant reproductive morphology. Plant reproductive morphology is the study of the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction. Among all living organisms, flowers, which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms, are the most varied physically and show a ...

  9. Neuromorphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromorphology

    Neuromorphology (from Greek νεῦρον, neuron, "nerve"; μορφή, morphé, "form"; -λογία, -logia, “study of” [1][2]) is the study of nervous system form, shape, and structure. The study involves looking at a particular part of the nervous system from a molecular and cellular level and connecting it to a physiological and ...
