Eagles
Eagles (Medicine)
Eagles (pronounced: /ˈiːɡəl/) is a term used in the medical field, particularly in the study of Ornithology, the branch of Zoology that deals with the study of birds. The term is derived from the Old English word 'earn', which means 'eagle'.
Eagles are large birds of prey which are found in all parts of the world. They are members of the bird family Accipitridae, and belong to several genera that are not necessarily closely related to each other. Eagles are differentiated from other birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful build, and heavier head and beak.
In medical literature, eagles are often used as a symbol of vision and power. This is due to their exceptional eyesight, which is up to 4-5 times better than that of humans. This has led to the term "eagle eye" being used to describe someone with sharp vision or keen observation skills.
Eagles are also used in medical research, particularly in the study of vision and the effects of environmental toxins on wildlife. Studies on eagles have contributed to our understanding of conditions such as Macular Degeneration and Cataracts, and have helped develop treatments for these conditions.
