BRANCHES OF MEDICINE

Medicine, throughout its long history, has experienced a constant evolution, dividing into various specialized branches to offer comprehensive and quality medical care to patients. This specialization process has been driven by scientific and technological advances that have allowed a greater knowledge of the human body and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

BASIC BRANCHES OF MEDICINE:

The basic branches of medicine lay the foundations for the study and practice of medical specialties. Among them we find:

* Anatomy:** Study the structure of the human body and its relationships.

* Physiology:** Investigates the functioning of the organs and systems of the human body.

* Biochemistry:** Analyze the chemical processes that occur in living beings.

Despite the fact that this study concerns anthropology, some of these practices have survived until modern times, which justifies their consideration in the history of medicine. Serious illnesses were of special interest to primitive men even though they could not treat them. They divided the genesis of the disease into two categories, each with a variety of therapies that were mutually exclusive. The first and most numerous were the processes attributed to the influence of malevolent demons, to whom the projection of an alien spirit, a stone or a worm within the body of the trusting patient was attributed.

INTERNAL MEDICINE

The field of medicine is divided into various branches and specialties, each with a specific focus and objectives. Among the most important are **internal medicine** and **external medicine**, two areas that, despite sharing the same final objective of preserving the patient's health, differ in their methodology and scope. **Internal Medicine: Deepening complexity** Internal medicine focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases that affect **adults**. Unlike general medicine, which offers comprehensive primary and preventive care, internal medicine specializes in **complex and chronic pathologies**, which often require a multidisciplinary approach. Internist doctors have extensive training in **physiopathology, clinical diagnosis and management of systemic diseases**. Their work is carried out mainly in hospital settings, where they have the opportunity to evaluate and treat patients with conditions that cover a wide range of specialties, such as: * Car...
