Question

Microanatomy deals with

• A. Study of arrangement of internal organs of organism
• B. Study of minute structures on the body of an animal
• C. Study of structure and arrangement of tissues in organs
• D. Study of cells and cell organelles

Hint:

Remember: {Micro} (small) + {Anatomy} (cutting up) $\approx$ Histology (Study of tissues).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Biology has various branches dealing with different levels of organization:
Gross Anatomy: Study of structures visible to the naked eye (like internal organs).
Microanatomy (Histology): Study of the microscopic structure of tissues and organs. It specifically looks at how cells are arranged to form tissues and how tissues are arranged to form organs.
Cytology (Cell Biology): Study of individual cells and their organelles.

Step 2: Evaluating Options:
(A) refers to Gross Anatomy (Splanchnology).
(B) refers to surface anatomy or morphology of minute structures.
(C) accurately defines Histology or Microanatomy.
(D) refers to Cytology/Cell Biology.
Step 3: Final Answer:
Microanatomy is synonymous with Histology, which is the study of tissues. Therefore, option (C) is correct.
