    Scope and Importance of Biochemistry

    Uploaded by

    TULSI SHARMA
    This document discusses the importance of biochemistry in various fields such as medicine, nursing, nutrition, and pharmacy. Biochemistry studies the chemical processes and reactions that occur in living organisms, explaining life at the molecular level. It is important in medicine as it guides drug discovery and understanding disease pathology through biochemical changes. In nursing, biochemistry assists by determining appropriate drug dosages for patients and understanding how medications react chemically in the body. Biochemistry is also crucial for nutrition, as it examines the biochemical roles of essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals. In pharmacy, biochemistry provides information on a drug's composition and how it degrades or is metabolized within the body.

    IMPORTANCE OF
    BIOCHEMISTRY
    IN MEDICINE
    The European Federation for
    Medicinal Chemistry says

    the biochemistry is a guide to drug


    discovery and for its application

    for example the morphine is a drug that


    reduce the pain in terminal cáncer
    the biochemistry helps us understand The pathology of any
    the biochemical changes and related disease is studied
    physiological alteration in the body through biochemical
    changes
    in the present scenario many people
    rely in taking multivitamin and minerals
    for better health

    the function and role of the vitamins


    is described only by biochemistry
    there are many disorders due
    to hormonal imbalance in
    specially women and children

    the formation of hormones in the normal


    body function is taught in biochemistry by
    which the physician can understand the
    concerned problem during treatment
    Importance of biochemistry in Nursing

    Biochemistry is of great use


    within the field of
    nursing, with many practical
    applications that can assist
    you in becoming a better
    nurse..
    Using biochemistry can be helpful
    Knowing the chemical in the nursing profession, allowing
    reactions of drugs to nurses to determine how much
    the human body and medicine should be prescribed or
    mixing said drugs given to each patient they
    encounter
    IMPORTANCE OF
