Morphology vs. Topology
Morphology and Topology Definitions
Morphology
The branch of biology that deals with the form and structure of organisms without consideration of function.
Topology
Topographic study of a given place, especially the history of a region as indicated by its topography.
Morphology
The form and structure of an organism or one of its parts
The morphology of a cell.
The morphology of vertebrates.
Topology
(Medicine) The anatomical structure of a specific area or part of the body.
Morphology
(Linguistics) The study of the structure and form of words in language or a language, including inflection, derivation, and the formation of compounds.
Topology
The study of certain properties that do not change as geometric figures or spaces undergo continuous deformation. These properties include openness, nearness, connectedness, and continuity.

Morphology
(uncountable) A scientific study of form and structure, usually without regard to function. Especially:
Topology
The underlying structure that gives rise to such properties for a given figure or space
The topology of a doughnut and a picture frame are equivalent.
Morphology
(linguistics) The study of the internal structure of morphemes (words and their semantic building blocks).
Topology
(Computers) The arrangement in which the nodes of a network are connected to each other.
Morphology
(biology) The study of the form and structure of animals and plants.
Topology
The branch of mathematics dealing with those properties of a geometrical object (of arbitrary dimensionality) that are unchanged by continuous deformations (such as stretching, bending, etc., without tearing or gluing).

Morphology
(geology) The study of the structure of rocks and landforms.
Topology
(topology) Any collection τ of subsets of a given set X that contains both the empty set and X, and which is closed under finitary intersections and arbitrary unions.
A set equipped with a topology is called a topological space and denoted .
The subsets of a set which constitute a topology are called the open sets of .
Morphology
(math) Mathematical morphology.
Topology
(medicine) The anatomical structure of part of the body.
Morphology
(countable) The form and structure of something.
Topology
(computing) The arrangement of nodes in a communications network.

Morphology
(countable) A description of the form and structure of something.
Topology
(technology) The properties of a particular technological embodiment that are not affected by differences in the physical layout or form of its application.
Morphology
That branch of biology which deals with the structure of animals and plants, treating of the forms of organs and describing their varieties, homologies, and metamorphoses. See Tectology, and Promorphology.
Topology
(topography) The topographical study of geographic locations or given places in relation to their history.
Morphology
The form and structure of an organism.
Topology
(dated) The art of, or method for, assisting the memory by associating the thing or subject to be remembered with some place.
Morphology
The branch of linguistics which studies the patterns by which words are formed from other words, including inflection, compounding, and derivation.
Topology
The art of, or method for, assisting the memory by associating the thing or subject to be remembered with some place.
Morphology
The study of the patterns of inflection of words or word classes in any given language; the study of the patterns in which morphemes combine to form words, and the rules for combination; morphemics; as, the morphology of Spanish verbs; also, the inflection patterns themselves.
Topology
A branch of mathematics which studies the properties of geometrical forms which retain their identity under certain transformations, such as stretching or twisting, which are homeomorphic. See also topologist.
Morphology
The branch of biology that deals with the structure of animals and plants
Topology
Configuration, especially in three dimensions; - used, e. g. of the configurations taken by macromolecules, such as superhelical DNA.
Morphology
Studies of the rules for forming admissible words
Topology
Topographic study of a given place (especially the history of place as indicated by its topography);
Greenland's topology has been shaped by the glaciers of the ice age
Morphology
The admissible arrangement of sounds in words
Topology
The study of anatomy based on regions or divisions of the body and emphasizing the relations between various structures (muscles and nerves and arteries etc.) in that region
Morphology
The branch of geology that studies the characteristics and configuration and evolution of rocks and land forms
Topology
The branch of pure mathematics that deals only with the properties of a figure X that hold for every figure into which X can be transformed with a one-to-one correspondence that is continuous in both directions
Topology
The configuration of a communication network
