First Year

Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at explaining living processes through these three disciplines. Almost all areas of the life sciences are being uncovered and developed through biochemical methodology and research. Biochemistry focuses on understanding the chemical basis which allows biological molecules to give rise to the processes that occur within living cells and between cells, in turn relating greatly to the understanding of tissues and organs, as well as organism structure and function.

Biochemistry is closely related to molecular biology, which is the study of the molecular mechanisms of biological phenomena. Much of biochemistry deals with the structures, bonding, functions, and interactions of biological macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. They provide the structure of cells and perform many of the functions associated with life. The chemistry of the cell also depends upon the reactions of small molecules and ions. These can be inorganic (for example, water and metal ions) or organic (for example, the amino acids, which are used to synthesize proteins).

The mechanisms used by cells to harness energy from their environment via chemical reactions are known as metabolism. The findings of biochemistry are applied primarily in medicine, nutrition.

In medicine, biochemists investigate the causes and cures of diseases. Nutrition studies how to maintain health and wellness and also the effects of nutritional deficiencies.

Yoga is a technique which unites the body, mind and spirit. Yoga relieves you from stress and tension. It is stress that causes weakness, anger, jealousy and all the negative emotions.

Yoga is a word derived from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj’ which means ‘to unite or integrate’, yoga is a 5,000-year-old Indian body of knowledge. Yoga is all about harmonizing the body with the mind and breath through the means of various pranayamas, yoga asanas (yoga poses) and meditation.

Anatomy is the science that studies the structure of the body. On this page, you'll find links to descriptions and pictures of the human body's parts and organ systems from head to toe.

Physiology is the science of life. It is the branch of biology that aims to understand the mechanisms of living things, from the basis of cell function at the ionic and molecular level to the integrated behavior of the whole body and the influence of the external environment.

Nature cure, also known as naturopathy or natural medicine, is a holistic approach to health and well-being that emphasizes the use of natural remedies and therapies to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. It is based on the belief that the human body has an inherent ability to heal itself when given the right conditions, and that nature provides the necessary resources for maintaining and restoring health.

The philosophy of nature cure is rooted in several key principles:

1. Nature's Healing Power: Nature cure recognizes the body's innate ability to heal itself. It views symptoms of illness as expressions of the body's attempt to restore balance and eliminate disease-causing factors. By supporting and enhancing the body's natural healing processes, nature cure aims to facilitate recovery and promote overall well-being.

2. Holistic Approach: Nature cure considers the individual as a whole, encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of these dimensions and their influence on health. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, nature cure seeks to address the underlying causes of disease and promote comprehensive wellbeing.

3. Vitalism: Nature cure is influenced by vitalistic principles, which suggest that life is more than just the sum of its physical components. It recognizes the presence of a vital force or energy within the body that maintains health and facilitates healing. Nature cure therapies aim to restore and enhance the flow of this vital energy.

4. Prevention and Health Promotion: Nature cure places a strong emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion. It recognizes the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition, regular exercise, stress management, and environmental factors, in maintaining optimal health. By addressing the root causes of illness and promoting healthy habits, nature cure aims to prevent diseases before they occur.

5. Individualized Treatment: Nature cure acknowledges that each person is unique and requires personalized treatment. It recognizes that what works for one individual may not work for another. Therefore, nature cure practitioners assess the individual's specific needs and develop treatment plans tailored to their unique circumstances, taking into account their physical, mental, and emotional characteristics.

6. Non-Invasive and Natural Therapies: Nature cure emphasizes the use of non-invasive and natural therapies to stimulate the body's healing mechanisms. These may include dietary adjustments, herbal medicine, hydrotherapy (the use of water in various forms), physical therapies, such as massage and exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Nature cure therapies aim to work in harmony with the body's natural processes, minimizing the use of pharmaceutical drugs or invasive procedures.

7. Education and Self-Responsibility: Nature cure encourages individuals to take an active role in their health and well-being. It promotes education and self-awareness, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their lifestyle choices and health practices. Nature cure practitioners often serve as educators, teaching individuals about healthy living, disease prevention, and self-care.
Overall, the philosophy of nature cure centers around the belief that the body possesses the innate capacity to heal itself when provided with the right conditions and support. By embracing natural remedies, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and addressing the underlying causes of illness, nature cure aims to restore balance and promote optimal well-being.

Pathology broadly divides two main categories of general and systemic pathology for better understanding basic concepts of pathology for students.

General pathology is a broad and complex scientific field which seeks to understand the mechanisms of injury to cells and tissues, as well as the body’s means of responding to and repairing injury.
