cellular structure
Internal cell organization
The arrangement of cells within a living organism or tissue.
In biology, cellular structure encompasses how cells are organized, shaped, and connected—from the internal components like membranes and organelles to how cells form tissues and organs.
The cellular structure of bone gives it both strength and flexibility.
The term also applies to non-biological materials with cell-like patterns: the cellular structure of foam, honeycomb's cellular structure.
