Study Notes

Biology is the science of living things, studying the varied aspects of life, such as plant biology and animal biology.
The term Biology comes from 'Bio' meaning life or living organism and 'logy' meaning study.
The study of biology includes the interaction of living organisms with each other and covers many unique fields.
Some sub-disciplines of biology include:
- Gross morphology: study of the shape and structure of organisms
- Histology: study of tissues
- Cytology (Cell biology): study of cell structure, functioning, and types
- Anatomy: study of the structure of organisms and their parts
- Embryology: study of gamete formation, fertilization, and embryo formation
- Taxonomy: science of naming, describing, and classifying organisms
- Physiology: study of how various biological components work
- Genetics: study of genes and heredity
- Pathology: study of diseases and their causes
- Ecology: study of the relations between living organisms and their biotic and abiotic environment
- Biogeography: study of the distribution of organisms around the world and throughout history
- Paleontology: study of ancient life, from dinosaurs to prehistoric plants, mammals, fish, insects, fungi, and even microbes.
