Histology is the study of the tissues of the body and how these tissues are arranged to constitute organs. Histology involves all aspects of tissue biology, with the focus on how cells' structure and arrangement optimize functions specific to each organ. Tissues have two interacting components: cells and extracellular matrix. The fundamental tissues of the body are each formed by several types of cell-specific associations between cells and extracellular matrix.
The small size of cells and matrix components makes histology dependent on the use of microscopes and molecular methods of study.
Embryology is a science that studies the morphological changes occurring during intrauterine development of the human being from the stage of fertilized ovum until birth. It encompasses preembryonic period (initial stages and early development), embryonic period (the development of organs and organ systems) and embryonic period (the final maturation until birth). In this manner, embryology lays fundaments for understanding of normal development, as well as for occurrence of developmental anomalies.
