This foundational course introduces pharmacy students to the scientific principles of botany and the pharmacognostic relevance of medicinal plants. It spans eight key modules, systematically designed to build a holistic understanding of plant biology, plant-based therapeutics, and related microbiological sciences essential for pharmaceutical applications.
Module Breakdown:
Introduction to Botanical Science and Kingdom Classification provides a general overview of all biological kingdoms, with an emphasis on plant taxonomy, structure, and classification, forming the basis for understanding herbal sources of drugs.
Cell Biology and Cell Division Explores fundamental cellular structures, types, and mitotic/meiotic processes, setting the framework for plant growth and development.
Plant Anatomy Begins with the study of plant tissues and progresses to internal structures such as vascular systems, enabling students to recognize plant organ systems microscopically.
Plant Morphology Focuses on external structures including roots, stems, leaves, and overall plant form, integrating observation and descriptive analysis.
Reproduction in Plants Covers reproductive strategies, floral anatomy, pollination, fruit development, seed formation, and germination.
Plant Physiology I – Metabolic Processes investigates primary metabolism, with a core focus on photosynthesis and respiration as energy-generating systems vital for plant function.
Plant Physiology II – Phytochemistry and Pharmaceutical Applications explores secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides, and their pharmacological roles in drug formulation and therapeutic use.
Introduction to Microbiology and Its Pharmaceutical Relevance: A General Survey of Microbes, Including Viruses, Bacteria, Fungi, and Algae, Examining Their Biological Characteristics and Implications in Pharmacy.
