Explanation
Zootomy means the study of animal bodies by cutting and examining them to understand how they work, breathe, move, and live. It comes from “zoo” (animal) and “tomy” (cutting). For example, “In biology class, students learned about zootomy to study animal organs.” It helps scientists and doctors learn about animal health, structure, and life systems. Zootomy is mainly used in science, medicine, and education, not in daily life.
