Pharmaceuticals - medicines and vaccines for human and animal use. products may have a brand name or be generic, and they may be prescription or OTC Diagnostic - equipment and supplies used in screening, detecting, and monitoring disease. can range from simple home testing kits to sophisticated imaging technologies Medical devices - advanced instrumentation and appliances used for medical therapy, such as joint replacements, implantable defibrillators, and pacemakers. Also includes drug delive...

Drug Discovery - • Unlike small molecule drugs (pharmaceuticals), large molecule drugs (biopharmaceuticals) are mainly protein-based o These protein-based drugs are similar to natural biological compounds found in human body or they're fragments that mimic active part of natural compounds Discovery of Pharmaceuticals - commences w/ scanning hundreds of compounds, whether w/ actual materials (irrational approach) or virtual simulations (rational approach) • Pharmaceuticals are new che...

The Lymphatic system is a network of vessels connected to lymphatic organs that drain lymph from the tissues into the blood. These lymphatic organs include thymus, lymph nodes, spleen and tonsils. It’s function is to protect the body and act as an immune defence. It produces white blood cells that protect the body from infections and diseases and works alongside the immune system. The lymphatic system consists of blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes can defend the body against inf...

The digestive system consists of many organs that play a role in the breakdown of food into smaller molecules and are absorbed into the bloodstream of the lymph system. The main primary organs include the buccal cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, colon and rectum. These are the order in which food passes through. In addition, there are also some accessory organs - the pancreas,liver and gallbladder in which food does not pass through but these organs secret...
