Best Answer

The compounds in medicine should be non polar.

  • It is important for any drug to be able to dissolve itself through the cell membrane which consists of a lipid bi-layer, in order to diffuse in the body and circulate biologically, performing its function.
  • Non polar compounds are lipid soluble and therefore can dissolve in the lipid layers.
  • Polar compounds are water soluble and fail to cross the cell membrane.
  • Therefore scientists need to be sure of using compounds that are non polar in nature so they pass through the cell membrane and enter into the blood circulation of the body and perform its due function.

methyl is hydrophobic because it is non polar. the c-h bonds have little electronegativity difference I believe. water is polar, and nonpolar things don't tend to react or dissolve in polar substances.


How many branches does medicine have?

There are effectively endless branches (or specialities within medicine) depending on how you categorise them.... Broadly, we talk about either clinical or academic medicine (with public health falling somewhere in between). Within clinical medicine, the following broad ranges exist: Anaesthetics and Intensive Care Emergency Medicine General Practice Medicine Obstetrics and Gynaecology (which is really a branch of surgery) Occupational Medicine Opthalmology Paediatrics Pathology Psychiatry Public Health Radiology and Imaging Surgery (of which there are many sub-specialities) Within medicine, the following are regarded as their own speciality: Allergy Audiology Acute Medicine Clinical Genetics Clinical Neurophysiology Cardiology Dermatology Clinical Pharmacology Endocrinology and Diabetes Gastroenterology General (Internal) Medicine Genito-Urinary Medicine Geriatric Medicine Immunology Infectious Diseases Medical Oncology Medical Opthalmology (i.e. not surgeons) Neurology Nuclear Medicine (Medical Physics) Palliative Care Pharmaceutical Medicine Rehabilitation Renal Medicine Respiratory (Chest) Medicine Rheumatology Sports and Exercise Tropical Medicine Of course, within each of these medical specialties there will be several sub-specialisations!
