- Anatomy: This type of internal morphology studies the organisms after their dissection and opening of various parts of their organs.
- Histology: These studies the tissues, their structure, and their composition.
- External morphology: It is the study of organisms’ external structures, such as their shape, color, size, relative position, and structure.
