Biochemistry which we study here in our field involves the chemical reactions which are related to our human body, which inolve the metabolisms and the essential dietary sources .

It is divided into many parts to make the study easy for beginners . first the basic molecules are explained namely : <br />1) Carbohydrates .
2) Proteins (Amino acids).
3) Lipids .
These are discussed in detail by learning about the metabolisms and requirements of these respectively.
After discussing and learning about the metabolisms and the advantages , abnormal effects seen due to these essential molecules .
We learn about the Minerals and Vitamans . In this we get the overview of the daily requirement of these and the abnormalities caused due to the excess or less intake of these materials in food.
In the end we learn about the Enzymes and the enzymatic action on the proper functioning of the body , after this we learn about the nucleic acids(RNA , DNA) and the diseases caused by the metabolic defects Ex. Jaundice , Diabetes Melitis.
PRACTICALS
In practicals we have to do chemical reactions which resembel the metabolism in the human body , and we also do some tests which diagnose the abnormalities caused due metabolic dysfunction.
We do tests related to :<br /> 1) Protein tests
2) Carbohydrate tests
3) Urine tests
4) Non Protein Nitrogenous substances Tests

In our syllabus, Human anatomy is divided into 3 sub-divisions -

1. Gross Anatomy
2. Histology
3. Embryology

• Gross Anatomy - It is the study of the human body, for us i mean the dental students we have to deal with the upper extremities i.e the Head and neck. everything here is dealt with detail, it involves the study of bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels etc.
• Histology - It is the microscopic study of tissues . It is done by using stained tissues and viewed through a microscope. This enables us to study the cells in detail. All the organs and other structures of the body are studies under this and not restricting us only to head and neck.
• Embryology - It is the study of the development of a human being . Here we get to study the different stages in the development of life. It also teaches us the development of organs in particular, and the defects (anamolies) caused during the development stages. We have to concentrate more on the development of organs related to the oral cavity.
