Hello Friends
Most of the students are in dilemma to choose their course when comes to college after their schooling.
Many of them don’t know beyond Medicine, Engineering and Law. So this blog is for those who are really passionate towards science.
So here I am to show you a different path, a different world, a different area of life to you. Guess what The Life science.
So, many of you may wondering what these topic says about right. Don’t worry I will clear it step by step for you.
Now what is life science all about? what it is to do with academics? life sciences comprises the branches of science that involve the scientific study of life and organisms – such as microorganisms, plants, and animals including human beings. Now in this blog we are going to see branches of life science and its scope.
Life science branches:
- Biology – study of living organisms with respect to their morphologic and anatomic traits as well as behavior and development[1]
- Anatomy – study of form and function, in plants, animals, and other organisms, or specifically in humans[2]
- Astrobiology – the study of the formation and presence of life in the universe[3]
- Biotechnology – study of combination of both the living organism and technology[4]
- Biochemistry – study of the chemical reactions required for life to exist and function, usually a focus on the cellular level[5]
- Bioinformatics – developing of methods or software tools for storing, retrieving, organizing and analyzing biological data to generate useful biological knowledge[6]
- Biolinguistics – study of the biology and evolution of language.
- Biological anthropology – the study of humans, non-human primates, and hominids. Also known as physical anthropology.
- Biological oceanography– the study of the life in the oceans and their interaction with the environment.
- Biomechanics – the study of the mechanics of living beings[7]
- Biophysics – study of biological processes by applying the theories and methods that have been traditionally used in the physical sciences[8]
- Botany – study of plants[9]
- Cell biology (cytology) – study of the cell as a complete unit, and the molecular and chemical interactions that occur within a living cell[10]
- Developmental biology – study of the processes through which an organism forms, from zygote to full structure
- Ecology – study of the interactions of living organisms with one another and with the non-living elements of their environment[11]
- Ethology – the study of behavior[12]
- Evolutionary biology – study of the origin and descent of species over time[13]
- Evolutionary developmental biology – study of the evolution of development including its molecular control
- Genetics – study of genes and heredity
- Histology – the study of tissues
- Immunology – the study of the immune system[14]
- Microbiology – study of microscopic organisms (microorganisms) and their interactions with other living organisms
- Molecular biology – study of biology and biological functions at the molecular level, some cross over with biochemistry, genetics and microbiology
- Neuroscience – study of the nervous system
- Paleontology – study of prehistoric organisms
- Pharmacology – the study of drug action
- Physiology – study of the functioning of living organisms and the organs and parts of living organisms
- Population biology – study of groups of conspecific organisms
- Quantum biology – the study of quantum phenomena in organisms
- Structural biology – a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macro-molecules
- Synthetic biology – the design and construction of new biological entities such as enzymes, genetic circuits and cells, or the redesign of existing biological systems (LY)
- Systems biology – study of the integration and dependencies of various components within a biological system, with particular focus upon the role of metabolic pathways and cell-signaling strategies in physiology
- Theoretical biology – the use of abstractions and mathematical models to study biological phenomena
- Toxicology – the nature, effects, and detection of poisons
- Virology. – the study of viruses like submicroscopic, parasitic particles of genetic material contained in a protein coat – and virus-like agents for further details visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_life_sciences there are Applied Life science fields also which you can see in this website and an article also will be posted on it in my upcoming blog/article.
SCOPE:
There will be always a bright future for a Life science graduate. Starting from a teacher, lab tech, professor, quality control manager and ofcource you may also end up being a scientist. Fascinating right. There is a seperate article for the scope of Life science.
