Zoology 1 (continuation)

• Zoology is the study of animals.
• One can learn about animals, including humans, through the study of Zoology.
• Zoology encompasses the study of animal interactions with each other, with other species, and with their environment.
• Zoology is a branch of science which deals with the study of animals.
• Structural Zoology includes the study of animal form and structure, also known as Morphology.
• Anatomy is the study of the different structures of an organism.
• Histology is the study of tissue.
• Archaebacteria are ancient bacteria.
• Protista are single-celled organisms.
• Cytology is the study of the structure and functions within the cell.
• Eukaryotic organisms have a membrane-bound nucleus.
• Plantae are plants.
• Fungi include mushrooms.
• Eubacteria are most bacteria.
• Animalia are animals.
• Prokaryotic organisms do not have a nucleus to contain their DNA.
• Developmental Zoology includes the study of the growth and development of a fertilized egg, also known as Embryology, and the development of an individual, also known as Ontogeny.
• Genetics is the study of heredity and variation.
• Functional Zoology includes the study of the living process or function of an animal, also known as Animal Physiology, and the behavior of animals in response to stimuli, also known as Ethology.
• Systemic Zoology/Taxonomy includes the study of protozoans, insects, shells, mollusks, fish, reptiles, birds, mammals, worms, honeybees, man, and crustaceans.
• Distributional Zoology includes the study of the distribution of animals on earth surface, also known as Zoogeography, and their relationship with their environment, also known as Ecology.
• Historical Zoology includes the study of fossils and past life, also known as Paleontology, the study of the development of a group race, also known as Phylogeny, the origin and differentiation of animal life, also known as Evolution, and the study of the economic value of animals, also known as Economic Zoology.
• Not science is not observable, does not have natural laws to explain phenomena, and does not produce testable theories.
• In Latin, the dead language of scholars, the scientific name is written in italics.
• Taxonomy is the study of the classification of humans.
• Taxonomy is the science of naming things and assigning them to groups.
• There are three main classification systems: Binomial nomenclature, Three Domain system, and Cladistics.
• The reasons for classifying living things include having a single, universal name, avoiding confusion, understanding how living things are related to one another, and more.
• Binomial nomenclature is used in this Zoology class.
• Cladistics is a classification system that groups living things based on shared derived characters.
• Binomial nomenclature is a system of scientific naming developed by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus in the 1750s.
• The classification of humans follows the taxonomy: Kingdom, Animalia; Phylum, Chordata; Class, Mammalia; Order, Primates; Family, Hominidae; Genus, Homo; Species, sapiens.
• Homo is the genus and sapiens is the species.
• Embryology and development determine how something is classified.
• Science is observable, has natural laws to explain phenomena, and produces testable theories.
• The two-part scientific name consists of the genus and species.
• Kingdom is the least specific and largest group, while species is the most specific and contains only one kind of organism.
• Taxonomy arranges living things into taxa, which are groups such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
• Homo sapiens is the scientific name for human beings.
• The three-domain system includes all other living things.
