Cytology is the science of the cell. Cytology is the study of animal and plant cells. Cytology studies nuclear-cytoplasmic complexes and bacteria. A cell is an elementary living system consisting of cytoplasm, nucleus, membrane and is the basis for the development, structure and life of animal and plant organisms.
For the first time the name "cell" in the middle of the XVII century was applied by Robert Hooke (English encyclopedist, naturalist). Looking at a section of cork under a microscope, Hooke saw that the cork was composed of cells.
