Study Notes
Human Body Studies and Composition
- The study of systems and organs of the human body and their functions is known as Human Anatomy and Physiology.
- Adult male bodies are approximately 60% water, essential for various bodily functions.
Body Components
- Elements NOT typically identified as components of the human body include noble gases like argon and neon.
- The torso comprises the chest, abdomen, and back; it does NOT include the limbs or head.
Medicinal Chemistry
- Medicinal Chemistry primarily focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of pharmaceutical compounds.
- This field intersects with disciplines like organic chemistry, pharmacology, and biochemistry.
Medicinal Compounds
- Broad classes of compounds used as medicines include small molecules, biologics, and vaccines.
- Medicinal Inorganic Chemistry investigates inorganic compounds and their potential therapeutic uses.
Biologics
- In medicinal chemistry, biologics refer to large, complex molecules derived from living organisms, used for treatment or prevention of diseases, such as monoclonal antibodies.
