File Topic -1-2. Classification of Insects

The classification of insects at order, family taxonomic levels are based on their morphology; figures for illustration are provided.

File Topic.2.1. Anatomy of Nervous System

This topic provides description and function of the major anatomical features of the nervous system.

File Topic 2.2 : Anatomy of Digestive System

The digestive system includes the organs of the alimentary canal and accessory structures.

File Topic 2.3: Anatomy of female Reproductive System

The functioning of a female reproductive system involves two phases: follicular and luteal phases. Each  of them has its specific structures and hormonal secretions.

File Topic. 2.4. Anatomy of Male Reproductive System

Unlike a woman, most of a man's reproductive system is located outside  of his body.These  external structures include the penis, the scrotum and the testicles.

File Topic 2.5: Anatomy of Urinary System

The Urinary system's function is to filter blood and create urine as a waste by product. Its organs are the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra. 

File Topic 2.6: Anatomy of the Skeletal System

It is formed of bones and cartilage, which are connected by ligaments to form a framework for the remainder of the body tissues.

File Topic 2.7: Anatomy of Muscular System

It is a set of tissues in the body with the ability to change shape. Muscle cells connect together and eventually to elements of the skeletal system. When the muscle cells contract, force is created as the muscles pull against the skeleton.

File Topic 2.8: Anatomy of Respiratory System

The key function of the respiratory system is to ensure that the body takes in enough oxygen from the atmosphere for it to perform its functions.

File Topic 2.9: Anatomy of Circulatory System

It is also known as cardiovascular system.

File Topic 2.10: Anatomy of Endocrine System

It is made up of glands that produce and secrete hormones, chemical substances in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs. 

File Topic 3: Animal Systematics

This topic provides you a relationship between immense diversity of animals and methods used in identifying the relationship.

Topic 1 : Plant histology File Botany Notes
File Cell Slides
A cell may be defined as a unit of protoplasm bounded by a plasma or cell membrane and possessing a nucleus. Protoplasm is the life giving substance and includes the cytoplasm and the nucleus. The cytoplasm has organelles such as ribosomes, mitochondria, golgi bodies plastids, lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum. Plant cells have in their cytoplasm large vacuoles containing non-living inclusions like crystals, pigments etc. The bacteria have neither organelles nor a well formed nucleus.

Topic 2 : Anatomy of the organs File Morphology and Anatomy of leaves Slides
File Morphology and anatomy of stems
Stems hold and display the leaves to the sun and provide connections for the transport of materials between roots and leaves. It may also serves as an area of storage.
