Cytology/ Cell Biology

Discovery of cell diverted the attention of the biologist from morphology ( the study of form and gross structure of organism) to cytology (the study of cell) .For many years, cytology
somehow remained confined to the structure of the cell as seen through a microscope. However, it now covers cell physiology (biosynthesis, energetics, motility, growth), cell reproduction and cell
chemistry also , With these additions to its scope, cytology has been renamed cell biology. The cell biology may be briefly defined as the study of cell structure, chemical composition and function, A cell
biologist generally describes fundamental processes common to all cells, Thus, cell biologist, in fact, the study of life.
