The given statement is false.

The study of the microscopic composition of cells and tissues of animals and plants is known as histology. It is usually conducted by examining a thin slice of tissue under an electron or light microscope.

The study of bones is known as osteology. It is a subdiscipline of anthropology, anatomy, and archaeology. It is a precise examination of the composition of bones, teeth, skeletal elements, microbone function, morphology, pathology, disease, the resistance and hardness of the bones, the process of ossification, and others.
