THE SUB-DIVISIONS OF BIOLOGY 



Morphology : 



Anatomy. 



Minute Anatomy. 



Comparative Anatomy. 

 Embryology. 



Physiology (including adaptations to the conditions of life).

 Palaeontology. 



All these divisions, except Psychology, apply both to plants 

 and animals. Many other modes of division have been 

 proposed.
