Cytology
An area of biology that deals with the study of the structure, function, multiplication, life history, problems, diseases, and chemistry of the cell. A cell is the smallest, most basic unit of life, that is capable of existing by itself. Cytology is also known as cellular biology and cytobiology. Cytology comes from the Greek word "kytos" meaning "a hollow (empty) cell," and the Greek word "logos" meaning "study." Put the two words together and you have "study (of) hollow cell(s)."
