Chapter 1& 7 Review
Entomology
The study of insects
Study of animals that live in or on other
organisms at the expense of the host
Parasitology
An imminent danger of extinction throughout
its range (where it lives)
Endangered species
Zoology
The study of animals
Study of relationships between organisms with
their environment
Ecology
Cytology
The study of cell structure & function
Study of mechanisms of transmission of traits
from parents to offspring
Genetics
Likely to become endangered in the near
future
Threatened species
Ichthyology
The study of fish
Study of the structure of entire organisms and
their parts
Anatomy
Study of tissues
Histology
Physiology
Study of the function of organisms and their
parts
Study of the classifications of, and the
evolutionary interrelationships among animal
groups
Systematics
Molecular biology
Study of subcellular details of structure and
function
Study of the development of animal from
fertilized egg to birth/hatching
Embryology
Study of the classifications of, and the
evolutionary interrelationships among animal
groups
Systematics
The study of protozoa
Protozoology

Entomology
The study of insects
No longer exists
Extinction
The tail end
Posterior
Dorsal
The back of the animal
Anterior
The head end
On or near the plane that divides a bilateral
animal into mirror images
Medial
The belly of an animal
Ventral
Toward the point of attachment
Proximal
The end containing the mouth
Oral
The end opposite the mouth
Aboral
Away from the point of attachment
Distal
The arrangement of body parts without
central axis or point
Asymmetry
Bilateral symmetry
A single plane through the center creates
right & left mirror images
Cutting the body in half creates equal halves
Radial symmetry
