Sample processing: complex and a little difficult for new handsįocuses on different aspects of cell biology. This research area is very narrow and concentrated one Pertains to “tissues” (A tissue is a group of cells) Table 1: The basic difference between cytology and histology. Medical histology exams usually refer to investigations of an entire block of tissuefrom the human body.Medical cytology exams usually refer to investigations of a single type of cell in the human body.
NOTE: People often confuse between “cytology” and “ histology” Let’s move on and learn about what all cytology encompasses, how we define cytology in different contexts, and much more. Since cytology has been long referred to as “cell biology”, cytologists are also referred to as cell biologists. A person who studies cell biology is commonly referred to as a cytologist or cytopathologist.
Since all living organisms are made up of the basic life-forming unit called ‘cell’, hence cytology/cell study gains attention whether it be plant or fungal system, animal system, bacterial system, or viruses. Cytology is the study of biological cells. There are many different fields in basic and advanced life sciences like biochemistry, biophysics, physiology, anatomy, genetics, molecular biology, histology, botany, zoology, and so on. Hence, scientists prefer to distinguish between different specialized fields and study them in depth separately. The biological world is so diverse that studying it under a single umbrella as a subject is next to impossible. “Surface scraping” way of cell sample collection “Natural shedding” way of cell sample collection
