Morphology

Study of the shape and visual appearance of cells, tissues and organs.

Configuration or structure, shape.

The shape and structural makeup of a cell, tissue, or organism.

(mor-FAH-loh-jee) The science of the form and structure of organisms (plants, animals, and other forms of life).

Shape, form, external structure or arrangement.

The form and structure of a surface. In tins, the morphology of a surface is defined by the sample points and breakline features used to build the tin. Breaklines, when properly located at locations of significant change in surface behavior, play a major role in defining surface morphology. In lattices, the morphology of a surface cannot be directly represented by sample points and linear features; it must be implied from the mesh point z values.

Study of the structure and form of words in language or a language, including inflection, derivation, and the formation of compounds
