What is the study of microscopic anatomy?

Histology
Anatomy
Pathology
Physiology

The correct answer is: Histology

Histology is the study of microscopic anatomy, specifically the study of the structure and function of tissues at a microscopic level. It is a branch of anatomy that focuses on the examination of tissues to understand their composition, organization, and relationship with other tissues. This makes option A the correct answer. Option B, anatomy, is a broad term that encompasses the study of the structure and organization of all living organisms, at both a macroscopic and microscopic level. Option C, pathology, is the study of diseases and their causes, mechanisms, and effects. While it may involve examining tissues at the microscopic level, it is not the primary focus of pathology. Option D, physiology, is the study of how living organisms function, including their organs, systems, and cells. While it may involve examining tissues at a microscopic level, it is not the primary focus of physiology. Therefore, option A is the best answer for the specific question about the study of microscopic anatomy.
