4. Read the text and be able to answer some questions:

Medicine is a science and an art at the same time. Its aim is to treat (cure) and recognize different diseases. To get the necessary knowledge, the medical students have to study various branches of medical science. They attend lectures on Anatomy, Histology, Biology, Physiology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, and other subjects.

At the Stomatology institutes the students of the senior years attend lectures on special subjects, for example: on dental surgery (stomatological surgery), dental therapy (stomatological therapy), orthopaedy, general surgery, pathological physiology and anatomy.

Anatomy is the science or branch of knowledge that deals with the parts and structure of human or animal bodies. Anatomy of man describes the structure of the human body.

Physiology is the science of the functions or actions of living organisms in their gross or minute structures. Physiology seeks out and tells what each part of the body does. In other words: Anatomy discloses what is present,. Physiology tells how it works (functions). Pathology explains why it doesn't work (diseases), Histology or Microscopic Anatomy is the science which deals with microscopic structure of animal tissues. Biology is the science of life, the study of living beings. Stomatology is the science which deals with human teeth, gums, dental arches, mucous, fibrous and periodontal membranes of the oral cavity. The knowledge of the structure and functions of the human organism is necessary to those who practice medicine. In order to get

knowledge in various fields of medicine, medical students attend lectures of their professors, they dissect corpses, animals, examine organic tissues under the microscope, and make experiments on aminals. One who devotes himself to science and pursues studies in some branches of knowledge is a

scientist. A professor is one who publicly teaches and delivers lectures on any branch of science. Those who attend lectures at a university or an institute are students. A physician is a medical man who treats and cures diseases.
