In this episode, we explore Human Health and Disease, a vital NEET Biology chapter that connects ancient ideas to modern medicine. We’ll begin with the historical concept of humors and transition into the science of immunity — covering innate vs. acquired immunity, vaccines, and immune responses. We’ll also tackle common human diseases, including bacterial, viral, protozoan, and helminthic infections, with NEET-relevant examples like malaria, typhoid, and amoebiasis. Complex topics such as AIDS, cancer, and autoimmunity are explained in simple terms with exam-focused insights. The session further highlights principles of treatment and prevention, and ends with a crucial discussion on drug and alcohol abuse, its impact on health, and ways to combat it.
Tune in to strengthen your NEET prep while gaining a holistic understanding of health, diseases, and the body’s defense mechanisms — from ancient theories to modern challenges.
