One of the first physicians to accurately record and illustrate human anatomy based on his findings from autopsies and dissections, which led to improved understanding of the human body and enhanced surgery techniques.
Because of that, he is now considered as the Father of ModernAnatomy.
Marcello Malpighi
He studied the embryo of a chick wherein he discovered the aorticarches, neuralfolds and somites with the help of Harvey's discovery. His findings became a strong argument that an embryo is pre-formed in the egg after fertilization
Robert Hooke
Discovered the cell, which is the basic unit of life. This made a huge contribution in microbiology when he published a book entitled "Micrographia" that includes sketches of different natural things under the microscope.
William Harvey
He was a physician who first recognized the full circulation of blood in a human body, and the nature of the heartbeat by providing sound experiments and arguments
Atom
Smallest unit of matter
Homeostasis
Steady state of an organism
Evolution
Process by which organism change overtime, to adapt to its environment thus help survive and reproduce "natural selection"
Molecule
This can be formed when two or more atoms of the same element react with one another
Meiosis
Process can only happen o gametes "sex cell"
Element
Substance that cannot be broken down by other substances
Mitosis
Process can only happen in somatic cells
The Scientific Method
1. Observation and Identification of the Problem
2. Formulation of Hypothesis
3. Experimentation or Testing the Hypothesis
4. Analysis and Interpretation of Data and Results
5. Generalization or Formulation of Conclusion
Hypothesis
A suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested
Scientific Theory
A generally accepted, thoroughly tested and confirmed explanation for a set of observations or phenomena
A hypothesis can be disproven, or eliminated, but it can never be proven
Photosynthesis
Organisms capture energy from the sun to build carbohydrates
Physiology
Understanding the functions of the human body
Histology
Study of tissue
Bryology
Study of mosses
Anatomy
Dissection of the body
Phycology
Study of algae
Genetics
Understanding heredity
Evolution
Origin of species
Virology
Study of viruses
Pathology
Pathway of diseases
The cell wall are mostly made of cellulose
Major classes of organic molecules
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Protein
Nucleic Acids
Lipids
Hydrophobic or insoluble in water
Crossing over happens in Prophase 1
Phospholipids are the major constituent of plasma membrane
Meiosis 1 consist of 2 daughter cell
The principal component of hair, nails and skin is keratin
Photosynthesis happens in the chlorophyll
Hemoglobin
A type of globular protein that is responsible for the transportation of oxygen in the blood
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen
Dextrose
Contains glucose
Blood cell shrivels
Hypertonic
Lactose
Combination of glucose and galactose
Some large molecules have a hard time passing through Plasma membrane
Chemical bonding
Interaction involving atoms of elements combining with one another
