MYCOLOGY

Image
Mycology (from the Greek μύκης, meaning "fungus") is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy, and their use to humans as a source for tinder, medicinals (e.g., penicillin), food (e.g., beer, wine, cheese, edible mushrooms), entheogens, as well as their dangers, such as poisoning or infection. From mycology arose the field of phytopathology, the study of plant diseases, and the two disciplines remain closely related because the vast majority of plant pathogens are fungi. A biologist who studies mycology is called a mycologist. Historically , mycology was a branch of botany (fungi are evolutionarily more closely related to animals than to plants but this was not recognized until a few decades ago). Pioneer mycologists included Elias Magnus Fries, Christian Hendrik Persoon, Anton de Bary and Lewis David von Schweinitz. Today, the most comprehensively studied and understood fungi are the yea

MICROBIOLOGY

Image
Microbiology (from Greek μῑκρος, mīkros, "small"; βίος, bios, "life"; and -λογία, -logia) is the study of microorganisms, which are unicellular or cell-cluster microscopic organisms.[1] This includes eukaryotes such as fungi and protists, and prokaryotes. Viruses, though not strictly classed as living organisms, are also studied.[2] In short; microbiology refers to the study of life and organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Microbiology is a broad term which includes virology, mycology, parasitology, bacteriology and other branches. A microbiologist is a specialist in microbiology.

Parasitolgy

What is parasitology? The study of a parasite, but what is a parasite? It is an organism feeding on live organic material such as another organism. This is a symbiosis (close permanent association) between the two organisms, in which one organism feeds on the other may cause damage to the host organism. Parasites have a wide range of sizes and structures. They include unicellular organisms that are a part of the lowest levels of our food chain. They may be a member of the fungus group and aid in decomposition. They may use flagella to take them from place to place such as Giardia migration through our intestinal tract and Trypanosoma movement through our blood stream. They may require a vector (transporter) to carry them to their potential host like Plasmodium that cause of malaria. They may be multicellular organisms such as helminthes (round worms or flat worms) that use larger animals or man to complete their life cycle.. 1. PARASITOLOGY - LIFE CYCLE AND WITH PICTURES

GiArdiAsis ... most commonly seen in blood group A, Achlorhydria, Abuse with cAnAbis, IgA deficiancy, AIDS. Other causes without mnemonics - Chronic Pancreatitis, Malnutrition.he mnemonic : All The Warriors Aspire To Phollow (follow) Zero orders. Explanation : This mnemonic helps in memorizing all the drugs which follow zero order kinetics. All = Alcohol The = Theophylline Warriors = Warfarin Aspire = Aspirin To = Tolbutamide Phollow = Phenytoin No Orders = Zero order kinetics The mnemonic : My Colleague Ricky Brushed His 2Lips Very Calmly . Creator : Who else can make something so stupid , but MYSELF . Explanation : This mnemonic helps in remembering all the intracellular organisms which is a frequently asked question in a lot of entrance examinations .
