The class covers the physiology of the main apparatuses and sistems (from the circulatory system to the breathing, endocrine, digestive, urinary apparatus to the bone and muscolar tissue to the central and peripheral nervous system) and their sinergies. Physiology encompasses the knowledge of many different disciplines such as chemistry, physics, biochemistry, molecular biology, anatomy, cytology and histology.
