Zoology studies the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct. Evolutionary research is concerned with origin and descent of species, as well as their change over time. Anatomy considers the forms of macroscopic structures such as organs and organ systems. Physiology studies the mechanical, physical, and biochemical processes of living organisms.
About Zoology in brief
Zoology studies the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct. Evolutionary research is concerned with origin and descent of species, as well as their change over time. Cell biology studies the structural and physiological properties of cells, including their behavior, interactions, and environment. Anatomy considers the forms of macroscopic structures such as organs and organ systems. Physiology studies the mechanical, physical, and biochemical processes of living organisms by attempting to understand how all of the structures function as a whole. The field of animal physiology extends the methods and methods of human physiology to non-human species, such as entomology, herpetology, or entomological systems. The history of zoology traces the study of the animal kingdom from ancient to modern times. For example, paleontology is partly based on paleontary organisms, but use those tools to answer questions about general questions about evolution.
The term is derived from Ancient Greek ζῷον, zōion, i. e. ‘animal’, and logos, ‘knowledge, study’. The concept of zoological sciences emerged from natural history reaching back to the biological works of Aristotle and Galen in the ancient Greco-Roman world. In 1859, Darwin placed the theory of organic evolution on a new footing, by his discovery of a process by which organic evolution can occur, and provided observational evidence that it had done so. In the early 20th century, the rediscovery of Mendel’s work led to the rapid development of genetics, and by the 1930s the combination of population genetics and natural selection in the modern synthesis created evolutionary biology. For. example, what is learned about the physiology of yeast cells can also apply to human physiology.
