What is BIOLOGY?
Biology is not just about some abstract word coded in long texts
and difficult language ..but if you see properly then

* It is the garden you walk through everyday.

*It is the function of your own body
*It is the food which runs your body and keeps it alive.
*It is the environment in which you breath.
*It is the flowers which bring smile on your face
in short it is “YOUR WORLD”

PRINCIPLE OBJECTIVE OF STUDYING BIOLOGY

(at high school level)
*explore the variations amongst the living.
*developing respect for the diversities.
*appreciate that the most complex processes are
also built on essentially simple processes .
‘BIOLOGY’ is the branch
of science which deals
with the study of the
entire world of living
organisms.

 Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery
An MBBS degree with registration in
the Medical Council of India is the
basic requirement for all graduate
courses in the field of medicine and
surgery.

Admission criteria differ from one part

of the country to another and even
from Institution to Institution.

In general, admission is based on Rank

obtained in an entrance examination
conducted by the state/central
government or the Institution .

The MBBS course starts with the basic

non clinical subjects such as
biochemistry, physiology, anatomy,
microbiology, pathology and
pharmacology.

Prosthetics and Orthotics is a medical and engineering
based healthcare profession which deals with rehabilitation
of physically handicapped individuals who suffer from limb
malfunctions or abnormalities
or absence or loss of limbs or other body parts may be missing. Such a
condition prevents a person from leading a normal life. Prosthetists and
Orthotists are professionals who help people suffering from neuromotor
and musculoskeletal disorders to return to a normal life by using their
skills and advanced medical technology.

A Prosthesis, or what is commonly known as an

artificial limb is an extension or replacement of a
missing or damaged body part. It can be an
artificial leg, an entire hand or just the palms of
hands or feet etc.
Those professionals who deal with prosthesis are
called Prosthetics.

 ADVANTAGES of opting BIOLOGY
 Student can opt for PCB related as well as PCM related
career courses (engineering etc.) after 10+2 whereas all
these career options are close for a student who does not opt
for Biology at 10+2 level.
 A student of Science can easily switch over to other streams
i.e. commerce or humanities after 10+2 if he wishes, which
is not possible for the students of other streams.
 Opting for science gives the student a scientific
temperament; they also learn how to manage time, & work
hard ;
Concepts of Biology are such which are interesting, some of
them are so useful that the students always remember
throughout their lives.
