The Anatomy and Physiology section is dedicated to the systematic study of the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human organism, with an integrated approach that connects the morphology of organs to the dynamic processes that regulate their activity.
Anatomy is approached at its different levels:
Physiology instead analyses:
Through a combined study of structure and function, this section provides an essential basis for understanding pathophysiology, clinical medicine and science applied to human health, promoting an integrated view of the organism as a complex system.
The field of biology is an ever-evolving one, opening up new vistas of understanding about the microcosmic world within us. One such microscopic structure that plays a crucial role in the process of reproduction is the acrosome. This article provides…
Introduction Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that play essential roles in human health and biology. They are considered crucial dietary nutrients, as humans, like other mammals, cannot synthesize them independently (Simopoulos, 2002, The American Journal of Clinical…
Introduction Acetylcholine is a vital neurotransmitter, the chemical messenger responsible for transmitting signals between nerve cells within the nervous system. Its discovery by Otto Loewi in the early 20th century marked a significant breakthrough in neuroscience, enabling researchers to delve…
