 | | Physiologists stressed organ and tissue function -- Claude Bernard (1813-1878) emphasized the experimental method in establishing biological knowledge and urged that medical practice should be grounded in such knowledge. |
 | | Histology was raised to the status of an independent science by the Swiss microanatomist Albert von Kolliker (1817-1905), who wrote the first textbook on the subject, Handbuch der Gewebelehre des Menschen (Handbook of the Tissues of Man) (1852). |
 | | Since Kolliker and Virchow, the study of the intimate structure and workings of the cells themselves, as distinct from the tissues, has become a separate science, cytology, further extended to the study of cells in disease, or cytopathology (Chapter 21). |
