- 1AnatomyPhysical structure of the body
- 2BiochemistryChemical components and how they affect the body
- 3BiomechanicsStructure of biological systems and how they work (using a mechanical approach)
- 4BiostatisticsApply statistics to biological fields. This is crucial for successful medical research and many areas of medical practice
- 5BiophysicsUses physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology to model and understand the
workings of biological systems - 6CytologyBranch of pathology that involves the medical and scientific microscopic study
of cells. - 7EmbryologyBranch of biology that studies the formation, early growth, and development of
organisms. - 8EndocrinologyInvestigate hormones and their impact on the body
- 9EpidemiologyCauses, distribution, and control of diseases in populations.
- 10GeneticsGenes and their impact on health and the body.
- 11HistologyForm of structures under the microscope. It is also known as microscopic anatomy.
- 12MicrobiologyStudy of organisms that are too small to see with the naked eye, known as microorganisms. Include bacteriology, virology, mycology (the study of fungi), and parasitology
- 13NeuroscienceStudy the nervous system and the brain and investigate diseases of the nervous system. Include computational modeling and psychophysics.Some types are cognitive neuroscience, cellular neuroscience, and molecular neuroscience
- 14NutritionStudy how food and drink influence health, and how they can help treat, cure, and prevent different diseases and conditions.
- 15PathologyStudy of disease. A pathologist often works in a laboratory, where they do tests — usually on a sample of blood, urine, or body tissue — to help diagnose diseases and
conditions - 16PharmacologyStudy of pharmaceutical medications, or drugs, where they come from, how they work, how the body responds to them, and what they consist of.
- 17RadiologyUse X-rays and scanning equipment during the diagnostic procedure, and
sometimes as part of treatment, too. - 18ToxicologyStudies poisons, what they are, what effects they have on the body, and how to detect them.
