The Life Sciences encompass several areas of study concerned with how living species function and thrive. Biology and chemistry are the core disciplines from which more specific areas — including biochemistry, biomedical engineering, embryology, and physiology — branch out. Physicians and other health care professionals, chemists, laboratory technicians, biomedical engineers, biologists, and science teachers all begin their educations with study in general life sciences or one of its more specific areas.
