The presented lecture is a short chemistry course on biogenic elements studied by medical students of higher schools of Belarus. The theoretical foundations of this topic are basic concepts of biogeochemistry, the science of the relation of the living and non-living matter developed by the academician V. I. Vernadsky in the 1930-s. Special attention was given to the relation of atomic structure, chemical properties and biological functions of chemical elements playing an essential role in life of living systems.
