Biomedical Sciences
Practice Questions
Course Introduction
Biomedical Sciences is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles of biology, chemistry, and medicine to understand the mechanisms of human health and disease. This course explores fundamental topics including human anatomy and physiology, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, pathology, microbiology, and pharmacology. Students will gain a deep understanding of how biological systems function and interact, the basis of diseases, and the scientific approaches used in diagnosing and treating medical conditions. Emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and practical laboratory skills, the course prepares students for advanced study or careers in healthcare, research, biotechnology, and related biomedical sectors.
