Introduction
Biology is very important subject to be studied in order to have a full
knowledge about all aspects of Earth's living things, including the dynamic
processes within them that enable them to develop, survive and reproduce.
The science of biology, why study biology, definition of clinical biology and
some subdivision of biology.
First, we must define biology, there are many definitions:
 The science that deals with living things.
 The science of variability.
 The science of life.
And the biology define it, is study all aspects of earth's living things, including
the dynamic processes within them that enable them to develop, survive, and
reproduce and those vital.
Processes include the harnessing energy and matter, the synthesis of the
material that body, the healing of injuries, and the reproduction of the organism
Among many other activities.
Biology is the scientific study of organisms or living things.
The term biology is derived from two Greek words (bios) means life , (logos)
means science or study.
Biology are include :-
1- Zoology (animal biology)
2- Botany (plant biology)
3- Microbiology (bacteriology, mycology, virology and parasitology)
4- Algology (algaes and lichences )
There are sub - division of biology :
1- Morphology: study the external structure of the body.

2- Anatomy: study the internal structure of the organisms.


3- Histology: microscopic study of the types of tissues that form the body
organs.
4- Cell biology: study the compositions of the cell, and functions of its
organelles.
5- Physiology, study the vital processes that done by the various body
organs.
6- Embryology, study the stages of formation and growth of the embryo
from fertilization to the complete formation of various body organs.
7- Ecology: study the relationships between organisms with each other, and
relationships between the organisms and its environment.
8- Genetics: study the transference of hereditary feature from parents to the
offspring and genetic variations.
9- Evolution: study the evolution and development of organism across the
successive ages.
10- Taxonomy: it deals with classification of different organism to appropriate
groups.
11- Molecular biology: this science explains the biology phenomena at
molecular level base on chemical and physical means and materials to
study the molecular structure of genes.
12- Natural history: study the organisms life and their behavior in the their
natural environment.
13- Parasitology: study the organisms that live on or inside another organisms.
14- Pathology: study the nature and symptoms of diseases and their causes.
15- Zoogeography: study the distribution of various animals in all over the
earth.

16- Paleozoology: study the fossils animals.


17- Comparative anatomy: study the anatomical differences between animals.

Why study the biology is important ?


The study of Biology is very important ?
1. The study of Biology has helped mankind in finding cures to diseases by
testing of animal .
2. Biology also helps us to known a greater understandings on how the world
works .
3. Biology saves lives through medicine or even nutritional advice .
4. Biology is needed to study because it will use in life in reproduction,
keeping a balanced diet and also how to keep healthy and how drugs and
smoking can affect us .
Medical Biology :
Is a learning material for students of medicine with a cell biology,
biochemistry, collection of most interesting facts on chemistry, neurophysiology,
endocrinology, pharmacology and more microbiology, pathophysiology.
