Nervous system II, Sensory organs
Annotation
Annotation:
The physiology is an intellectual and experimental subject which uses basic knowledge of molecular biology, physics and biochemistry and transforming them to practical use in medicine. The interpretation of physiological proceses asks a perfect knowledge of morphological discipliens, i.e. anatomy, histology and embryology.
