Study Notes
Physical Biology Subtopics
-
Morphology: Studies the form and structure of organisms. Divided into external (describing the outside) and internal (describing the inside) morphology.
-
Taxonomy: Focuses on classifying organisms and related principles.
-
Physiology: Examines the functions of different bodily organs – e.g. respiration, excretion. Details all physiological processes within an organism.
-
Histology: Analyzes the microscopic structure, arrangement & function of plant and animal tissues.
-
Embryology: Explores the origin of gametes, embryo development, and the structure, growth, and development of embryos.
-
Cytology: Studies the structure, function, and cell division within living organisms.
-
Genetics: Examines genes and heredity.
-
Evolution: Details the gradual development of life over successive generations.
-
Ecology: The study of organisms and their environment
-
Endocrinology: The study of endocrine systems.
