      Hi

      Morphology is another word for anatomy. It is the physical form and structure of organisms. For example in flies, adult morphology includes legs, wings, bristles, compound eyes mouthparts, antennae, brain, muscle, gut etc. Morphology develops with age, and it is these changes that we can correlate to age which helps us to determine time since death.
