    Zoology is the science that studies animals and all aspects of animal life, including structure, function, embryonic development, nutrition, health, heredity, and evolution. Zoology has many subdivisions based on the subjects and groups of animals studied. Some of the major subdivisions include anatomy, physiology, genetics, ecology, paleontology, taxonomy, and evolution. The history of zoology includes early observations by prehistoric man and ancient civilizations, and pioneering work done by Aristotle, Andreas Vesalius, William Harvey, and later scientists who developed tools like the microscope and laid the foundations for areas like embryology, comparative anatomy, and cell theory.

    Fundamentals of Zoology

    INTRODUCTION

    Zoology- science dealing with animals and all
    aspects of animal life
    a. structure, function, and embryonic
    development
    b. nutrition and health
    c. heredity and evolution
    SUBDIVISIONS OF ZOOLOGY
    According to particular subject matters
    I. Anatomy study of structures
    ana- to cut
    a. Gross anatomy- macroscopic level
    1. Comparative anatomy similarities
    and differences in species
    2. Human anatomy
    b. Developmental Anatomy
    Embryology development of embryo,
    developmental biology, how different
    parts develop
    c. Microscopic Anatomy (Histology)
    microscopic anatomy of cells and
    tissues of plants
    II. Physiology study of functions
    a. Cellular physiology- biological study of
    cells mechanism and interaction with
    the environment
    b. Comparative physiology- diversity of
    functional characteristics of organs
    c. Endocrinology- deals with ductless
    glands and secretions
    d. Neurology- nerve cells and activities
    III. Genetics genes, heredity, variation in
    living systems
    IV. Ecology interaction among organisms
    and environment
    V. Zoogeography- animal distribution
    VI. Paleontology- ancient life via fossils
    VII. Taxonomy- classification of organisms
    VIII. Evolution- change in inherited
    characteristics of biological populations


    According to groups of animals being studied
    I. Mammalogy- mammals
    II. Ornithology- birds
    III. Herpetology- reptiles and amphibians
    IV. Ichthyology- fishes
    V. Entomology- insects
    VI. Parasitology- parasites
    VII. Protozoology- protozoa,onecelled animals
    VIII. Helminthology- worms
    IX. Malacology- mollusks
    X. Conchology- seashells

    BRIEF HISTORY OF ZOOLOGY
    1. prehistoric man took interest in animals
    2. Egyptians learned how to domesticate cattle,
    sheep, pigs, cats, geese, ducks
    3. Aristotle (384 BC-322BC) Father of zoology
    4. Galen (131-201 AD)- function of nervous system
    and arteries carrying blood
    5. Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564)- Father of Modern
    Anatomy
    6. William Harvey (1578- 1657)- circulation of blood
    and atrio-ventricular contraction
    7. Jansen (1950) and Galileo (1610) development
    of compound microscope
    8. Robert Hooke (1635- 1703)- presence of cells in
    plant tissues
    9. Leeuwenhoek- first described bacteria, protozoa,
    sperm
    10. John Ray and Linnaeus- taxonomy
    11. Karl Ernst Von Baer- Father of embryology,
    origin of three germ layers
    12. George Cuvier and John Hunter- comparative
    anatomy pioneers
    13. Schleiden and Schwann (1838)- cells are the
    basic units of structures in plants and
    animals..arranged according to definite laws
    14. Rudolf Virchow- all cells come from preexisting
    cells
