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
