Yes, classification system is still evolving together with our knowledge.

But, before changing the name (e.g. of a species) it is important to collect and gather a wealth of information in order to support that change. Classification system is still evolving. The reasons for the changes are DNA analyzes. It is the new way for discovering relation between organisms and put them in the right context (classification used to be based on morphological characteristics).

Change in classification can be shown in an example of fungi. In the 90s fungi classification included only phyla Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. Now theyhave been classified mainly on the basis of characteristics of their sexual reproductive structures. So, there are 7 phyla now: Microsporidia, Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota

alexira [117]

Answer:

gross anatomy, an anatomical region

Explanation:

Anatomy can be grouped into gross anatomy and superficial anatomy. Gross anatomy is the study of structures that are visible to the human eye i.e. without the aid of a microscope. The anatomical regions are those regions in the body that are easily seen by the unaided eye.

In this case, Luna is trying to study the name and locations of the lumbar, or lower back, area of the body. The lumbar is the vertebrae found at the lower back of the body. Hence, it is an easily visible internal structure when dissected, making it's study a form of GROSS ANATOMY.
