cytological
About cell structure
Cytological means relating to the study of cells—their structure, function, and chemistry.
The term appears in medical and biological contexts: cytological examination, cytological analysis.
A cytological test examines cells under a microscope, often to detect abnormalities or disease.
The Pap smear is a common cytological screening procedure.
