The Branches of Biology

BRANCHES OF BIOLOGY
As I've said before, biology is a complex study of life and all living things. Biology has many sub-divisions which are known as its branches.

As of this moment, these are the branches of biology that I know:
  1. Anatomy is the study of form and function
  2. Biotechnology is the manipulation of living things 
  3. Botany is the study of plants
  4. Ecology is the study of interaction between living things
  5. Entomology is the study of insects
  6. Epidemiology is the study of the factors that affect our health
  7. Evolutionary Biology is the study of the origins of living things and how they evolve
  8. Genetics is the study of the genes and hereditary
  9. Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians
  10. Histology is the study of cells and tissues; a microscopic branch of anatomy
  11. Ichthyology is the study of fishes
  12. Limnology is the study of inland waters
  13. Microbiology is the study of microorganisms
  14. Molecular biology is the study of biology and biological functions at the molecular level, some cross over with biochemistry
  15. Mycology is the study of fungi
  16. Oceanography is the study of the oceans and ocean life
  17. Oncology is the study of cancer processes
  18. Ornithology is the study of birds
  19. Paleontology is the study of fossils
  20. Pathology is the study of diseases
  21. Parasitology is the study of parasites
  22. Physiology is the study of the functions of living organisms, organs, and parts
  23. Virology is the study of viruses
  24. Zoology is the study of animals
There are many more branches of biology but these branches are the most commonly used and probably the most commonly taught in schools.
