Biomedical science is study of biological systems of environmental and other living things for the benefit of human beings.Biomedical technology involves the application of engineering and technology principles to the domain of living or biological systems. Usually biomedical denotes a greater stress on problems related to human health and diseases. Biomedical engineering combined with Biotechnology is often called Biomedical Technology or Bioengineering. It has two wings: Biomedical Engineering dealing more with the Biophysics, and Biotechnology dealing more with the Biochemistry. It includes Biomedical engineering, Biomedical research, Biomedical science, Biomedical science, Bioengineering, Biotechnology. Biomedical technology have few branches like Cloning, Therapeutic clonig, Cryonics, Life extention.
Biotechnology-: Biotechnology revolbs around the biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. The most practical use of biotechnology, which is still present today, is the cultivation of plants to produce food suitable to humans. Specific organisms and organism byproducts were used to fertilize, restore nitrogen, and control pests. Throughout the use of agriculture farmers have inadvertently altered the genetics of their crops through introducing them to new environments and breeding them with other plants--one of the first forms of biotechnology. Biotechnology has applications in four major industrial areas, including health care medical, crop production and agriculture, non food industrial uses of crops and other products e.g. biodegradable plastics, vegetable oil, biofuels, and environmental uses.
Biomedical Engineering-: In Biomedical engineering the engineering principles and techniques are applied to the medical field. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with the medical and biological science to help improve patient health care and the quality of life of healthy individuals. Biomedical engineering consists of research and development, covering an array of fields: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials and bioengineering, systems analysis, 3-D modeling, etc. Examples of concrete applications of biomedical engineering are the development and manufacture of biocompatible prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices and imaging equipment such as MRIs and EEGs, and pharmaceutical drugs. The following are the deciplines in Biomedical Engineerings which draw influence from various fields and sources. Biomaterials, Biomedical devices and instrumentation, Bioelectrical and neural engineering, Biomedical imaging and biomedical optics, Biomechanics and biotransport, Systems and integrative engineering
and Molecular, cellular and tissue engineering.
