What is "zoology"?

Zoology is the scientific study of animals, including their behavior, anatomy, physiology, and interactions with their environment. Zoologists research how animals adapt to their habitats, how they communicate, and how ecosystems function. Zoology also plays a role in conservation, studying endangered species and providing insights into how to protect animal biodiversity.

抗原

What is an "antigen"?

An antigen is a foreign substance that triggers an immune response in the human body. It can be a molecule, such as a protein or a carbohydrate, that is recognized as non-self by the immune system. Antigens are often found on the surface of pathogens, such as bacteria or viruses, but can also be present on allergens or cells from transplanted organs. When the immune system encounters an antigen, it initiates an immune response to eliminate or neutralize it. This response involves the production of antibodies, activation of immune cells, and the development of immune memory. Antigens are crucial for the body's ability to distinguish between self and non-self and play a vital role in immune defense and disease recognition.

What is a "membrane"?

A membrane refers to a thin, flexible layer of tissue that covers, lines, or separates various structures and organs. These membranes serve diverse functions, such as protecting organs, providing structural support, facilitating movement and flexibility, and allowing for the exchange of substances. Examples of membranes in the human body include the mucous membranes that line the respiratory and digestive tracts, the serous membranes that encase organs in protective fluid-filled cavities, and the cell membranes that surround individual cells, regulating the passage of molecules. Membranes are essential for the proper functioning and integration of different body systems.

What is "metabolism"?

Metabolism refers to the complex set of biochemical processes that occur within cells to convert nutrients into energy and essential molecules for growth, repair, and maintenance. It encompasses both the breakdown of substances (catabolism) to release energy and the synthesis of molecules (anabolism) to build and maintain cellular structures. Metabolism influences the body's energy expenditure, regulation of body weight, hormone production, and overall physiological functioning. It is regulated by various factors, including genetics, age, diet, physical activity, and hormonal balance. Metabolism is a vital process that supports the body's basic functions and is closely linked to overall health and well-being.

What is "pathology"?

Pathology is the study of diseases, their causes, processes, and effects on the body's tissues and organs. Pathologists, medical specialists in this field, examine tissue samples, bodily fluids, and cells to diagnose diseases and understand their underlying causes. They identify abnormalities, such as cancerous cells or infectious substances, and provide valuable information about the progress and treatment options for the disease. Pathology includes various subfields, including anatomical pathology, clinical pathology, and molecular pathology, all aiming to advance medical knowledge and patient care.
