Study Notes
Branches of Biological Science
- Morphology is the branch that studies the form and structure of organisms.
Types of Anatomy
- Microscopic anatomy involves the study of different tissues and cells using microscopes.
- Gross anatomy examines larger structures and features visible to the naked eye.
Developmental Biology
- The study of the changes organisms undergo from conception through birth, maturity, and death is known as developmental biology.
Anatomical Methods
- Descriptive anatomy is the method that involves detailing the skeleton, particularly bone and cartilage structures.
- The description of the nervous system falls under neuroanatomy.
Organ and System Study
- Topographical anatomy focuses on the study of organs and systems in relation to their surrounding parts.
Anatomical Directions
- The term posterior describes structures lying toward the back of an organism.
Anatomical Planes
- The coronal plane divides the body into dorsal (back) and ventral (front) parts.
Bone Functions
- Bones do not serve the function of producing hormones, which is attributed to glands.
Skeleton Types
- An exoskeleton is the type of skeleton that is situated externally for protection, common in arthropods.
