Elis [28]3 years ago

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

• To denote if a limb is placed upwards in the body near the head, the word superior or cranial is used. For example, the hand is a part of superior limbs i.e., its near the head.

• To denote if a limb is placed far from the head the words inferior or subordinate: (for example, the foot is inferior to the head)

• To denote if a limb is placed at the front, Frontal or Anterior is used (for example, the kneecap is frontal to the body)

• To denote if a limb is placed at the back, words back, posterior, or dorsal are used (for example, the shoulder blades and the collar bones)

• To denote if a limb is placed referring to the midline of the body or in its direction the word medial is used (for example, the middle toe with respect to foot).

• To denote if a limb is placed distant from the body's midline, the word lateral is used. For instance, the little toe is lateral to the midline of the body)
