This document outlines various branches of biology, including anatomy, bacteriology, biochemistry, botany, cytology, dermatology, epidemiology, entomology, ethology, marine biology, mamalogy, mycology, nutrition, ornithology, paleontology, pathology, scatology, physiology, taxonomy, virology, and zoology. It provides brief definitions for each branch, such as anatomy being the study of the structure of living things and bacteriology being the study of bacteria. The document appears to be part of a general biology course covering the different subfields that make up the study of life.
2. Branches of Biology
• Anatomy- study of structure of living things
• Baterialogy- study of bacteria
• Biochemistry- study of chemical processes in linving
organism
• Botany- study of plant life
• Cytology- study of cell function,structure and chemistry
• Dermatology- study of skin
• Epidemiology- study of epidemics,(widespread disease)
3. • Entomology- study of insect
• Ethology- study of animal behavior
• Marine Biology- study of sea creatures and the
under water environment
• Mamalogy- study of microscopic organisms.
• Mycology- study of fungi.
• Nutrition- study of diet and health.
4. • Ornithology- study of birds.
• Paleontology- study of prehistoric life.
• Pathology- study of diseases caused by
organisms(bacteria,fungi,prtotist,viruses).
• Scatology- study of animal droppings.
• Physiology- study of how organisms function and
carry out physical/chemical processes.
• Tatonomy- the groupings of living things.
• Virology- study of viruses and virus like
agents(prions).
