Anatomy and Eidonomy

Morphology can be separated into anatomy, which is the form and structure of an organism’s inside and eidonomy, which is the outside shape or features of an organism.

Eidonomy: Outside shape or features of an organism

A picture of a taxi starting to morph and change colour

The taxi continues to morph until it has a cow hide on (eidonomy) the outside.

Anatomy: Inside shape or features of an organism

A picture of a person with hat getting into a taxi anatomy inside shape of an organism

Only people with a hat on (anatomy) were allowed inside the taxi.

NOTE:

In everyday language anatomy has become a generalisation that covers both anatomy and eidonomy.
