   The 15 branches of biology are as follows:
   
   Anatomy - The study of the animal form, with an emphasis on human bodies.
   
   Astrobiology - The branch of biology concerned with the effects of outer space on living organisms and the search for extraterrestrial life.
   
   Biochemistry - The study of the chemical reactions required for life to exist and function, usually a focus on the cellular level.
   
   Bioengineering - The application of engineering to biology, specifically medical technologies.
   
   Biophysics - The application of physics to biological processes.
   
   Biotechnology - A new and sometimes controversial branch of biology that studies the manipulation of living matter, including genetic modification.
   
   Bioinformatics - Also classified as a branch of information technology (IT), it is the study, collection, and storage of genomic data.
   
   Botany - The scientific study of plants and related organisms.
   
   Cell Biology - The study of the cell as a complete unit, and the molecular and chemical interactions that occur within a living cell.
   
   Cryobiology - The study of life in ice or very low temperatures.
   
   Cytology - The study of the cell and its organs.
   
   Microbiology - The study of organisms too small to see with the human eye.
   
   Macrobiology - The study of biology on the level of the macroscopic individual (plant, animal, or other living being) as a complete unit.
   
   Molecular biology - The study of the molecular composition of matter and their interactions on a molecular level.
   
   Neurobiology - The study of the nervous system, including anatomy, physiology, even pathology.

    There are many branches of biology, each focused on just one aspect of research. The scope of biology is enormous - it's the history of all living organisms and their role on earth. 

   
   

   
   
   Biology is first split into 3 main branches that focus on 3 different organisms: Zoology (animals), botany (plants), and microbiology (organisms). More information on each branch as well as numerous sub-branches are listed below in alphabetical order. 
   
   
   
   

   Branches of Biology
