microscopic anatomy

…However, it was not until the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period that anatomy began to be used in medical education and made progress. Today, anatomy is broadly divided into macroscopic anatomy and microscopic anatomy, with the former being further divided into osteology, ligamentology, myology, vasculology, neurology, visceral biology, and sensory organs, while the latter is used almost synonymously with histology. Histology was systematized around the 19th century. …

From [Histology]

...When cells with specific structures and functions come together for a specific purpose to form an organism with functional and structural suitability, they are called tissues, and histology is the study of living organisms as a combination of tissue materials. In contrast, the study of living organisms as structures made up of parts called organs, down to their minute structure, is called microscopic anatomy. However, the terms histology and microscopic anatomy are often used interchangeably, and are sometimes understood to be almost synonymous.
