What is the difference between morphology and anatomy?

Simply

Morphology is the study of the structure of the human body in connection with its development and vital activity;
( it includes human anatomy, embryology, and histology. 
Anatomy is the study of organs, their topography and structure but not at microscopic level (histology level).

When such study is done to evaluate the outward appearance of an organism or an organ of an organism with respect to shape, size, color and structure it is called external morphology or eidonomy. The study of internal parts is referred to as internal morphology or anatomy


Eidonomy is the study of the external appearance of an organism. It is thus the opposite of anatomy, which refers to internal morphology.
