Functional morphology:

•   also microanatomy

•   is the study of the anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals using microscopy

• from Greek "shape, form", and "measurement"

•  a concept that encompasses size and shape

• involves the study of relationships between the structure of an organism and the function of the various parts of an organism.

A guiding principle of functional morphology is:

• The old adage "form follows function"

• The old adage "function follows form

•   The old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

•   The old adage "Eat to live, and not live to eat"

• The old adage "First, do no harm"

The function of an organ, appendage, tissue, or other body part dictates its:

•   form

• development

•  death

• labor

•    pathway

TRUE statement about both function and morphology relationship:

•   The function of an organ, appendage, tissue, or other body part dictates its form

•  The form of an organ, appendage, tissue, or other body part dictates its function

• The function can often be deduced from the form

• The study of the anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals using microscopy

• The form can often be deduced from the function

This part controls the amount of light passing through to the slide:

•  Ocular lens

•  Objective lenses
