1. Zoology Chapter 1 By : Mrs. Geonyzl L. Alviola

2. An Evolutionary and Ecological Perspective Zoology = Gr. Zoon, animal + logos, to study focused on : - behavior - morphology - habitat - evolution - relationship

3. Various specialization in Zoology Anatomy = study the entire structure of the organism Cytology = Study of the structure and function of cells Ecology = Study of the interaction of an animal with the environment

4. Embryology = study of the development of an animal from the fertilized egg Genetics = Study the mechanism of transmission of traits from parent to offspring

5. Histology = study of tissues Molecular = Study of subcellular Biology details of cell structure and function Parasitology = Study of animals that live in or on the organism Physiology = Study the function of organism and their parts

6. Systematics = Study of the classification of and the evolutionary interrelationships among animals groups
