Relation of Biology in Nursing profession
Biology is a fundamental subject of Living Science(Bio-Science), Modern theory of biology discovered by “Aristotle“(Father of Biology & Zoology), His theory describes five major biological processes, namely
- Metabolism
- Temperature regulation
- Information processing
- Embryogenesis, and
- Inheritance (Hereditary).
In this Connection, Biology play vital role in living creature in this planet. Nursing Profession start with Basic Medical Science subjects called “Allied Medical Subjects” such as are Human Biology(Anatomy & Physiology), Microbiology, Nutrition , Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Genetic are foundational Subjects of nursing course. Anatomy & Physiology(Human Biology) & Microbiology are branch of Zoology, and zoology is a branch of Biology. Followed steps:
Biology>>>>>Zoology>>>>>Human Biology & Microbiology
Human Biology Includes Basic Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology , Nutrition.
- Basic Chemistry = Atoms + Molecules.
- Anatomy = Structure of Human Body. Discovered by “Andreas Vasalius”(Father of Anatomy).
- Physiology= Function of Human Body. Discovered by ” Claude Bernard”(Father of Physiology).
- Microbiology = Study of Micro-organism. Modern /Medical Microbiology discovered by “Louis Pasteur”.
Four Key Concept to Remember about Medical Science in Nursing :
- Health= Normal Structure and function of human body , it’s co-relation with external environment called “Biological Healthy Concept”.
- Illness = Abnormal or Structural and functional disturbance within human body called ” Illness”.
- Disease= Any Cause by micro-organism or it’s toxicity within the body called as ” Disease”.
- Deficiency = Particular disturbance with specific Nutrition within the body called as “Deficiency”.
