    Study Notes

    Branches of Biology

    • Physiology: Studies the functions and processes of living organisms, including cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
    • Anatomy: Examines the structure of organisms, using dissection, imaging, and comparative studies of tissues, organs, and organ systems.
    • Biochemistry: Investigates the chemical processes and substances within living organisms, focusing on biomolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
    • Biotechnology: Applies biological principles and techniques to develop products and technologies in medicine, agriculture, industry, and environmental conservation.

    Other Branches of Biology

    • Cytology: Studies cells in terms of structure, function, and chemistry.
    • Histology: Studies the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues in plants and animals.
    • Immunology: Studies the immune system and its response to pathogens and foreign substances.
    • Embryology: Focuses on prenatal development, including gamete formation, fertilization, and embryo/fetus development. Also includes teratology (study of congenital disorders before birth).

    Introduction and Terminology

    • Biology: The natural science that studies life, including structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.
    • Importance in Medical Schools:
      • Provides the foundation for understanding human body structure, function, and processes.
      • Essential for diagnosing and treating diseases, grasping medical concepts, conducting research, and making clinical decisions.
    • Biology Branches:
      • Botany: Studies plants, their structure, physiology, ecology, and evolution.
      • Zoology: Studies animals, including behavior, physiology, anatomy, classification, and evolution.
      • Microbiology: Studies microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa) and their impact on health, industry, and the environment.
      • Genetics: Examines heredity, variation, genes, chromosomes, genetic traits, inheritance patterns, and genetic disorders.
      • Ecology: Explores the relationships between organisms and their environment, including ecosystems and the biosphere.
