2. Histology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histology

   Histology, [help 1] also known as microscopic anatomy or microanatomy, [1] is the branch of biology that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues. [2][3][4][5] Histology is the microscopic counterpart to gross anatomy, which looks at larger structures visible without a microscope. [5][6] Although one may divide microscopic anatomy ...

3. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

   v. t. e. In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function; in other words, soft biological material. [1][2] Tissues occupy a biological organizational level between cells and a complete organ.

4. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

   Wound healing refers to a living organism's replacement of destroyed or damaged tissue by newly produced tissue. [1] In undamaged skin, the epidermis (surface, epithelial layer) and dermis (deeper, connective layer) form a protective barrier against the external environment. When the barrier is broken, a regulated sequence of biochemical events ...

9. Morphogenesis - Wikipedia
