Medical Sciences

Medical sciences encompass a wide range of topics related to the study and application of knowledge in the field of medicine. This includes understanding the human body, disease processes, medical treatments, and the development of new medical technologies.

Anatomy and Physiology

Understanding the structure and function of the human body is fundamental to medical sciences. This includes the study of organs, tissues, and systems such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Students will learn about the interconnections between different parts of the body and how they work together to maintain health.

Pathophysiology

Pathophysiology explores the mechanisms of disease and how they disrupt normal physiological processes. Students will learn about the causes, progression, and effects of various diseases on the body. This knowledge is crucial for diagnosing and treating medical conditions.

Pharmacology

Pharmacology focuses on the study of drugs and their effects on the body. This includes understanding how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. Students will also learn about the uses, side effects, and contraindications of different medications.

Medical Technology

Advancements in medical technology have revolutionized healthcare. Students will explore various technologies such as medical imaging, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic equipment. Understanding these technologies is essential for modern medical practice.

The resources above cover the following skills:

The Living Environment: Students understand that cells are the basic unit of life, that all life as we know it has evolved through genetic transfer and natural selection to create a great diversity of organisms, and that these organisms create interdependent webs through which matter and energy flow. Students understand similarities and differences between humans and other organisms and the interconnections of these interdependent webs.

Biodiversity: Students compare living things based on their behaviors, external features, and environmental needs.

Describe how living things can be sorted in many ways, depending on which features or behaviors are used to sort them, and apply this understanding to sort living things.
