Traditional Chinese medicine, as a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine, has made indelible contributions to the cause of human health with its profound historical heritage and unique theoretical system. In this broad and profound discipline, biochemistry and physiology are undoubtedly the core core courses.
Biochemistry, as a basic discipline in the field of medicine, also occupies a pivotal position in traditional Chinese medicine. It mainly studies the nature, process and regulation mechanism of chemical reactions in living organisms, and provides an important tool for TCM to understand life phenomena at the molecular level. Through the study of biochemistry, TCM students can gain an in-depth understanding of the complex metabolic processes, energy conversion mechanisms, and the structure and function of biological macromolecules in the human body, so as to more accurately grasp the nature and occurrence and development of diseases.
Physiology is the study of the normal life activities of organisms and their mechanisms. In traditional Chinese medicine, the study of physiology not only helps to understand the structure and function of various organ systems of the human body, but also provides an important theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and development of traditional Chinese medicine. Through the in-depth study of physiology, TCM students can more comprehensively grasp the laws of human life activities, so as to better use TCM theories and methods for disease prevention and development.
In summary, biochemistry and physiology play an irreplaceable role in traditional Chinese medicine. They not only provide TCM students with the tools to gain an in-depth understanding of human life phenomena, but also provide important theoretical support for the clinical practice of TCM. Therefore, it is essential for every learner who is committed to a career in TCM to study and master these two core courses in depth.
