In century XVI detailed studies of all the alive beings begin to be made. Vesalio study the structure and function of the organs of the animals specially in the man. It mentioned that the confidence in previous works had to be limited, being centered in the personal experiences.
In century XVII the microscope is discovered and Biology undergoes an important advance. Malpighi and Leewemhoek study the structure of weaves, are observed the bacteria, protozoos and spermatozoa.
In century XIX, the advance of other branches also causes another fort impulse for Biology, mainly at level of molecular Biology.
From the etymology point of view Biology means study of the life, studying the forms that can adopt the alive beings, their structure, function, reproduction, growth, organization and relations with the means that surround them.
They are disciplines of Biology: the botany, study of the plants; Taxonomy, the classification of the alive beings; Zoology, study of the animals; Anatomy, study of the structure of the alive beings; Physiology, study of the operation of the alive being; Embryology, study of the development of the embryo; Genetics, Ecology, Evolución... relations with the means that surround them.
