Glosary

1. Biology:
is the science that studies living beings and, more specifically, their origin, evolution and properties:
nutrition, morphogenesis, reproduction.

2. Zoology:
it is the science that has as its object the study of animals, their way of life, the way in which they
interrelate and their evolution.

3. Botany:
It is a branch of Biology and is the science that deals with the study of plants.

4. Cytology_
is the specialty of biology that is dedicated to the analysis of cells (the fundamental unit of a living
being with independent reproductive capacity)

5. Ecology

is the branch of biology that studies the relationships of different living beings with each other and
with their environment

6. Genetics:

is the area of study of biology that seeks to understand and explain how the biological inheritance is
transmitted from generation to generation.

7. Anatomy:

study of the structures of the human body. In general, it is oriented to knowledge about
macroscopic structures, since other disciplines (such as histology or cytology) are responsible for
minor elements, such as cells or tissues.

8. Microbiology

is the science responsible for the study and analysis of microorganisms, small living beings not
visible to the human eye, known as microbes.

9. Taxonomy:

Its purpose is: - Identify living beings. - Place them in a place within a Classification. Therefore,
Taxonomy means "CLASSIFY" and that Classification is based on Categories or Taxones.

10. Ornitology:

It is the branch of zoology that is dedicated to the study of birds.

11. Entomology:
It is the scientific study of insects. Of the 1.3 million species described, insects make up more than
two-thirds of all known living beings

12. Parasitology:
It is a branch of biology that studies the phenomenon of parasitism. On the one hand, it studies
parasitic living organisms, and their relationship with their hosts and the environment.

13. Bacteriology:

is the branch of Biology that studies the morphology, ecology, genetics and biochemistry of bacteria
as well as many other aspects related to them It is of great importance to man because of its
medical, nutritional and technological implications.

14. Mycology:

It is responsible for the study and knowledge of fungi and everything related to them, that is, their
forms, ways of appearance. ... In addition, it studies what is the process of the decomposition of
different living organisms, and why fungi come out in those environments of dirt and putrefaction.

15. Virology:

is the study of submicroscopic virus-particles of genetic material (DNA or RNA) contained in a

protein capsid - as well as Virus-like particles. ... Virology is considered a sub-field of microbiology
and medicine.

16. Phisiology:
it is the science that studies the functions of living beings. ... Plant physiology, and within this the
phytophysiology and developed to specific taxa of plants.

17. Morfology:
is the discipline responsible for the study of the structure of an organism or system and its
respective characteristics.This includes aspects of external appearance (shape, color, structure) as
well as aspects of the internal structure of the organism such as bones and organs.

18. Embriology:
is the branch of biology that is responsible for studying morphogenesis, embryonic and nervous
development from gametogenesis to the moment of birth of living beings.
